I have been trying to resolve a similar issue where the Roster List does not updated on accepting a friend’s request.
Steps followed :-

1. Sent a friend request using Presence type as subscribe
2. At the other end, while accepting the friend’s request, a subscribed presence type is sent
3. On receiving the subscribed Presence packet, another subscribed packet is sent back.

The server’s roster list gets updated immediately by Subscription type as Both but the roster entries are not.
Also, the roster’s subscription Mode is set to manual and it also has a PacketListener attached to it.

Please can you provide some help by contributing your solution to this problem? It would be of great help.

Thanks and Regards,
