The error “Your Apple account can’t be used to log in to apps” happens when your Apple ID is restricted (child account, locked Apple ID, login disabled by Screen Time), not fully signed in to the App Store, or when the game no longer supports Sign in with Apple. Fixes include allowing account changes, completing Apple ID verification, signing in to the App Store, adjusting Screen Time restrictions, or reauthorizing the Apple ID.
