User level: Level 1 (5 points)Hi, I can't download any app from the App Store on my iPhone 14, iOS 18.7.8. I have enough storage. I tried restart, sign out/in Apple ID, Media & Purchases, reset network settings, DNS, date/time, and iCloud/Purchased. No error, it just won't download. Any fix? Thanks.

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗
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! 👋🏼😉

Is the payment method up-to-date in your Apple account? That is a common problem when you are having trouble downloading apps.
