I'm hoping someone else has a similar use case that can answer a question for me. My family sharing is setup with the Organizer iCloud account with a separate purchasing account and 1 family member. This hasn't been a problem until the Apple TV multi-user feature was implemented, and I now realize it is also a problem on my Mac. I have a separate purchasing account as I've had an iTunes/App store account that I shared before iCloud and Family Sharing existed.
Let's call the accounts:
So as the Organizer I am logged into iCloud as Organizer@icloud.com and the App Store and Apple Music as Purchases@icloud.com on my devices.
My first question if you have the same setup, is this how you are logged in to iCloud and the App Store?
I've opened a case with Apple and since my Family Sharing specifies that the purchasing account is Purchases@icloud.com.
I don't believe I need to be logged into the App Store with that account. But that is currently the case and, hopefully, a bug with my account that Apple can fix. If I only login as Organizer@icloud.com my Apple Arcade and Apple TV subscriptions don't work even though the subscriptions are shared across the family. Everything works fine for Familymember@icloud.com and they don't have purchases@icloud associated to their devices in any way.
Thanks in advance!
