Verification Required I keep getting verification required and need to confirm payment info for a free app and I don’t know how to get past that. I have no past due bills/subscriptions or anything. I don’t even have a card on file nor have I ever! Can anybody help with this?

Free apps and paid-for apps require the same verification.

A credit card valid for the same region as the App Store is the easiest.
