Hello, I'm having the same issue on XBOX Series X.
Me and two friends wanted to do a little private lobby on Mass Effect 3, but we cannot join each other. It loads normally until the character selection screen, and once we pick our character the game immediately tells "Unable to join friend's game".
The three of us are using an Xbox Series X.
UPnP is enabled on our routers, we don't know what causes this issue but we just can't play together.

Over this last weekend the game started to give me a sign in change occurred and net work error in the game
Having this issue on PC ... have not been able to join friends and doing search, we appear to be region locked, so folks from different regions can't join in a search.
This issue is posted for PC, but no EA response to date; posting here because it at least looks like EA is reading the issue for Xbox.
I am also having this issue. I have not attempted to join a friend's game since being forced to the EA App. Prior to that, my partner and I played on Origin together often.
We're both PC, both played together previously, nothing changed in terms of our settings (unless you count the changed app we have to go through but it changed for both of us), or even our PCs. It's all exactly the same. The game loads just fine, including all DLC being properly accounted for and existing saves opening without issue. The game connects to the EA servers. Both of our in-game overlays are on.
We receive the invites. We accept the invites. We've even tried doing it with the game closed for the person getting the invite, in which case the invite is accepted and the game is launched. We get to pick our character and sit through a load screen. And then we get "unable to join friend's game". Every time.
We've tried with a VPN for one of us since we live in the same household. We've tried without VPNs. We've, as I said above, tried with me sending the invite or him sending the invite. We've tried with one game completely closed.
Absolutely nothing works to get ME3 multiplayer working with the EA App even though it worked fine in Origin. This is just one of numerous problems since this horrid migration was forced upon people. At what point is it deemed a failure and sunk cost and your customers actually are able to interact with their content properly again?
