Unable to download apps on child's account

Child asks to download app. I get notification and approve, it says I need to use Apple ID password, I put in Apple ID password, message goes away but app is never downloaded and it starts all over again.

Child’s Apple ID Support Has there been a resolution for an Apple device asking for the Apple ID password twice when downloading apps on a child’s Apple ID? as many other parents have stated over the years it’s ridiculous that you put all the parental restrictions on and the child is required to input a password (not once but twice). For my 5 year old who just wants to download games it’s not possible for them to input a password (especially in the format Apple requires) I’ve tried adjusting lots of settings including screen time restrictions, content restrictions, age limit and password required settings and yet it still asks for the password. Any resolution before I change to an android device for them? thank you

Child’s Account no longer downloads Apps Hi, I have followed a previous post the same as this that dried up in January 2023. I have my son setup under my family account and restrictions all set up for my approval and all device upto date with latest software. I was able to download apps on an old iPad and thought I’d be clever updating to latest iOS. Now when I try to download on his iPad a spinner just spins in the “get buttons” position after entering his password twice. I get no approval request like I used to and the App Store stays like this until it resets back to the “get” button after a long period of time. Please help 🙏🏽

Cannot download app on child’s account Permission not working, I just cannot install apps on my child's account. On my iPhone I'm not getting any approval messages. Even when turning off parental control it doesn't work. [Edited by Moderator]

Please look at the App's age rating in the App Store and compare it with your child's age.
