Invalid Address with App Store?
For the past few days, I've tried to use the app store to update and purchase apps, but I cannot. Every time I try, a message pops up saying "invalid address". I have tried every "fix" and workaround posted on the Internet to no avail.
My billing address is a p.o. box, I have it entered just as my bank records have it, which is also exactly how it is listed on the USPS.com site. I've also tried many variations, such as "PO BOX", "po box", "P.O. Box", etc. I still cannot use the app store at all.
This is extremely frustrating, and an absolutely absurd measure of security. I understand wanting to keep your customers safe by incorporating strict security measures, but this is clearly a wide scale problem as so many people are posting problems about this. A security measure that renders the app store inoperable for so many people is something that clearly should be removed. Blocking customers from being able to make purchases is not a good business move.
I'm sorry for being so dramatic, but I'm just really pulling my hair out over this. If it was one day, then I wouldn't be such a big deal, but when I start missing app sales and I am blocked from making in-app purchases because of something that is clearly not my fault, I feel my frustration becomes justified.
And just for clarification, I use a credit card for my accont, so no, putting in Apple's address or any other will not work. I have to match my bank's records.
