I'm trying to update OS from appstore, but it is expecting to review my apple id with app store and asking card details for payment method. For free applications why card details is required?
Yeah. it is mandatory in that case. Once you put in your credit card info. you have the option to remove it later. There will be a 'NONE' option to choose form if you do not want your credit card to be on your account. But have in mind that, in the process of wanting to make purchases you will have to key it in again. I hope this helps. I have seen a situation where if the account is newly setup, you will need to put in a means of payment for verification.
Create an account without a credit card:
You may not want to do that if you don't want to remember two (or more) Apple IDs. Apple does not bill you for free apps.
It is not required. you should be able to say Done on the screen where it asks you to input a credit card. You do not need to create a new account.
Hey is it mandatory to give card details for downloading free applications from appstore
