"In-App Purchases are not allowed" Error Persists After All Troubleshooting Steps

Hello,

I am consistently receiving the error message "In-app purchases are not allowed on this device" whenever I try to make an in-app purchase on my iOS device. Despite following all the recommended solutions I could find online, the issue remains unresolved.

Here is a list of the steps I have already taken:

  1. Checked Screen Time Settings:

    • I navigated to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases.
    • I have confirmed that "In-App Purchases" is set to "Allow." I have also tried toggling this setting off and on again.
  2. Signed Out & In of Apple ID:

    • I signed out of my Apple ID via Settings > [Your Name] > Media & Purchases, restarted the device, and then signed back in.
  3. Restarted the Device:

    • I have force-restarted my device multiple times.
  4. Updated iOS:

    • I have ensured my device is running the latest version of iOS (checked via Settings > General > Software Update).
  5. Verified Payment Method:

    • I have confirmed that my payment method on file is valid and up-to-date.
  6. Created a New Sandbox Account:

    • I also created a new Sandbox Tester account in App Store Connect and tested with it, but the result was the same.

Device Information:

  • Device Model: iPhone 15, iPhone 13
  • iOS Version: iOS 17.5, iOS 18

Even after performing all of these steps, the problem persists. Has anyone else encountered such a stubborn issue, or does anyone have a different solution I could try?

Thank you in advance for your help.
