You need to have a payment method in place to download apps from the App Store.....even if the app is free.


That is Apple's policy.


You will not be able to download any apps from the App Store until you have a payment method with Apple. If you only download free apps, your credit card will not be charged.


If you do not provide a payment method, you will not be able to download any apps.


You will need to decide what you want to do.
