Why can't I download a free QR code scanning app on my iPhone?

QR code scanning. I can't even download a free QR Code scanning app without being asked for payment validation. My Android camera did it automatically. Can anyone help me? (I really regret this overpriced experience)

Hello!


But the iPhone camera does it automatically. Open the camera app, and point it at the QR Code without tapping the shutter button. A yellow link should then appear at the button if the screen. Do you see this happening?
