IOS – Sharing Notes on Catalina

catalinaicloudiosnotes.app

I have been using shared notes on my Mac and iOS devices for years now. Everything worked fine until iOS 13 / Catalina.

Now when I try to create a shared note it tells me either the server could not be reached or enter image description here

When I go to iCloud.com I can create shared notes. Old shared notes, that I created before updating, also still work.

I tried logging out of iCloud and logging back in again, but that did not work. Are others having this problem too?

Does anyone know how I can solve this, or is this just something I have to hope get's solved in a coming update?

Thanks

Follow these steps if the issue occurred immediately after upgrading

  1. Open the Terminal app, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.

  2. Type this command in Terminal:

    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed

  3. Press Return and wait for the Terminal prompt—which ends in $—to reappear. It may take a few minutes.

  4. Quit Terminal.

And later go to Apple menu > System Preferences, click Extensions, and make sure that the Markup and sharing features are turned on in the Actions and Share Menu sections too after running the above command.
