You must pay the unpaid balance on your account by updating your payment method in settings>payment and shipping  before Apple will let you download or install new apps. 

Why This Happens

  • Unpaid Charges: Cancelling a subscription only stops future renewals. It does not cancel a past charge that failed or a free trial that ended before you cancelled.
  • Apple Policy: Apple blocks all new app downloads (even free ones) until any pending or failed balance on your account is fully paid
