Can't change apple ID e-mail.

I'm trying to change my apple ID e-mail from gmail to iCloud mail.

But! When I follow the steps detailed in the article my iPhone gives the error "Could Not Update Email. Your Apple ID cannot end in @icloud.com. Choose a different email address."

Suggestions?


iPhone 7, iOS 12

Are you using an @iCloud address that is already associated with your Apple ID?


you can enter an @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com email address that's already a login alias or alternate Apple ID for your account. To see these addresses, sign into your Apple ID account page. Click Edit under the Account section to reveal Reachable At. In this list, a login alias will have a  next to it which, when hovered over with a mouse pointer, shows this message: “This is an alias of your Apple ID email address.”
