I recently started experiencing a problem where I am unable to update apps on the App Store. It asks me to sign in to my iTunes, and after doing so, it results in an error. I’ve checked my devices settings and on the App Store and both say that I’m logged into my iTunes. I’ve logged out and relogged into my iTunes to only meet the same issue. The only bypass that I’ve been able to do is to uninstall and reinstall apps in order to update.
Thanks. If deleting and redownloading the app works it sounds like the apps were originally downloaded using a different Apple ID. Deleting is allowing you to now download and associates them with your current Apple ID. Best bet is to keep deleting and redownloading.

If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
I've included some screenshots below showing the exact error I get when signing in.
Please tell us the exact and full error you get.
I see, and if I were to switch back to the original Apple ID (the one that I used to download those apps), would I still get the same issue?
If you switch to the original Apple ID, you should be able to download/update the apps downloaded with the original Apple ID.
Unable to update apps.
