You can’t use the App Store if your account has unpaid balances, a pending purchase or a region mismatch.


Make sure your billing address matches your region, clear any pending charges and try again.


Check your payment method in Settings ➢ [your name] ➢ Payment & Shipping, ensure it’s valid and update if needed. Also, sign out and back into your Apple Account, then try again.


If it still fails, contact Apple Support directly.



Good Luck! 👋🏼😉

Hello,


Please describe your issue with more detail, as well as answering the following questions:


  1. Who’s asking you to renew an app?
  2. Is the app a native Apple app or a third party? If you don’t know, just tell us the name of the app.
  3. Can you use the AppStore right now?
  4. If you answered question 3 with “no”, please describe why you can’t use it. What you except to be able to do, and what’s actually happening.


Thank you.
