"You are not whitelisted"

[Colechin]

So basically, I (java) would like to host a server to play with a friend (bedrock) but it keeps saying that she is not whitelisted. I have tried restarting, resetting, deleting whitelist.json and then restarting it. I don't know what else to try. I am 100% sure that I put in the name correctly. pls help

Hello, 

We are currently experiencing a server-side issue with Bedrock. Our engineering team is aware of the issue and is working on deploying a fix.

There is planned maintenance this evening. We apologize for the inconvenience and really appreciate your patience.

Once the maintenance is over you need to add your friend with a "." in front of their name.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!
