Wife had other cameras and base station added to app a long time ago.   

But when I added a new Essential XL Spot light camera I have not been able to grant access and get it to work on wifes phone.

There are two user "experiences" - one shows "Library" in the app, the other shows "Feed" and "Dashboard". Both you and your wife need to have a matching "experience" for the camera sharing to work.

 

I am thinking your app might have switched to "Feed" if you added the Essential Gen 2.  Can you double-check that you both still have "Library"?
