Google App Invites invitations not being sent

Question

As of 11/11/2015 Google App Invites are no longer sending out emails. SMS still works. Has anyone else experienced this? My app code has not changed in the last few weeks so suspected might be something to do with Play Services 8.3 - but that doesn't seem to be the cause.

I have checked:

• No special characters in message
• Updated to latest Play Services 8.3
• Included classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0-beta2'

InvitiationIds are being generated and no errors are being thrown.

Any suggestions of what else might be causing this?

Answer 1

As of 2015-11-12 the email invites have started working again. No code was changed in my app and the emails have started working.

However, Invites sent yesterday are still lost.

I can only put it down to a service issue with Google.

I guess that's why Google App Invites is still in beta.

I will mark this answer as "accepted" in a few hours... just in case anyone from Google is reading and wants to comment and confirm what the issue was.
