So I just recently got an apple gift card and I decided that I wanted to use it on a game that I like but when I would go and buy the in game items i get a pop up saying “your purchase can not be completed” and I’m confused because I logged out and back into my Apple ID on the App Store and I restarted my phone but it still doesn’t work? Does anyone know how to fix this?
