Apps are tied to the account they were downloaded with. If you downloaded an app with your friend's account and then signed out and created a new account, the "purchase" (even if it was free) still relies on your friend's account credentials to stay updated. To resolve this, you'd need to delete the app and re-purchase or re-download it under your own account.
