App store requires Apple ID password despite having all the corresponding settings adjusted.

my iPhone 15 pro max iOS 17.2.1 App Store always asks for Apple ID password entry for free apps instead of the double click to install

Media & Purchases > Password settings > Free downloads require password is DISABLED

iTunes & App Store is ENABLED in Face ID and Password settings

The App Store Apple ID is the same as my entire phone

i have tried restarting the phone and signing out and in to Apple ID for the App Store again

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

The solution for me was as follows:


1- Turn off "iTunes & App Store" option in "Face ID & Passcode" in "Settings".

2- sign out of Apple ID in App Store.

3- sign out of Apple ID in Settings.

4- turn off phone and wait one min and turn it on.

5- sign in Apple ID in settings.

6- when you sign in Apple ID in settings ,phone ask you to sign in for App Store automatically.

7- when you go to Face ID & Passcode in see that "iTunes & App Store" option activated (if not active it by yourself)

8 - install a new app and see problem solved.


I hope it work for all
