I can't update apps and can't install new apps either. But I can surf the internet, and do anything else without a problem. It happens since I have changed my DNS settings.


My special case is , I'm using a custom DNS of my own, but the DNS response is not authenticated, so I changed my wifi DNS field back to 8.8.8.8 temporally, the updating works again.
