The apps still worked, but with Catalina’s official unveiling back in June at WWDC, Apple made the eventual discontinuation official. Plug-in verification problems, and video rendering. Assuming the.pkg,.dmg, or installer app is legitimate and still stuck on “verifying” then here is what you can do to force it to run: From the Finder in Mac OS X, hit Command + Shift + G and enter the following path: Locate the app named “Installer.app” from this directory and launch it directly. If the app keeps showing that verifying message each time you open it, it’s likely that macOS is still flagging it. On the app icon, hold down Option then right-click on it and select Open from the drop-down menu options. Sometimes apps don’t launch after that macOS.

Are you repeatedly getting a popup saying, “Verification Required – Before you can make purchases, you must tap Continue to verify your payment info” or “Verification Required. Tap Continue and sign in to view billing information” on iPhone or iPad. Having myself encountered the pop-up a few times, I can say that it can easily freak you out and take you on top of the angst. Before you begin, first understand why this error occurred.

Why Does App Store Say “Verification Required” on the iPhone?

You see “Verification Required” popup because of an error with the payment method currently connected with your Apple ID. You get this message when a payment method has failed, or if the particular device has never purchased a paid app, or downloaded a free app, or if there is a pending unpaid balance on the account.

As you can see, the leading cause for the “Verification Required” message on your iPhone or iPad is a faulty credit card. So, if you just update the details, switch to a valid payment card, or remove the current card and select ‘None’ as the payment method, things will work out. If not, follow along with this easy guide.

How to Fix “Verification Required” Message on iPhone or iPad

To get rid of the issue, you have to change the Apple ID payment method. You can go for a valid payment method or do not associate any payment details with your Apple ID and App Store. We are going with the latter.

Step #1. Launch Settings and tap on your name card at the top.

Step #2. Tap iTunes & App Store → Tap on Apple ID: [email protected] → View Apple ID.

Step #3. Tap Manage Payments.

Note: Here, you will see the payment method you have added. Now, if there are issues with this added payment method like the wrong name, or security code, or lapsed expiry date or billing address, tap on it, and on the next screen update the details. If not, see step #4 and remove this payment method.

Step #4. Tap Edit from top right → Tap on red minus icon → Tap on Remove → Tap on Remove from Popup.

Now you have no payment method added to your Apple ID. This obviously means you can not purchase apps or subscriptions anymore. But this will remove the annoying ‘Verification Required’ pop-up.

If you wish to buy apps or subscriptions, you may correctly add a payment method to your Apple ID. You may also add funds to your Apple ID and purchase iCloud Storage, apps from the App Store, and more.

Not Able to Remove Current Payment Method? Here is Why

You may not be able to remove your current payment method if there is a payment due or Family Sharing Option is enabled for your services. There are several other reasons why you might not be able to remove the current payment method when editing your Apple ID payment information. To know more, head over to this post.

We design Mac hardware and software with advanced technologies that work together to run apps more securely, protect your data, and help keep you safe on the web. And with macOS Big Sur available as a free upgrade, it’s easy to get the most secure version of macOS for your Mac.*

Apple M1 chip.
A shared architecture for security.

The Apple M1 chip with built-in Secure Enclave brings the same powerful security capabilities of iPhone to Mac — protecting your login password, automatically encrypting your data, and powering file-level encryption so you stay safe. And the Apple M1 chip keeps macOS secure while it’s running, just as iOS has protected iPhone for years.

Apple helps you keep your Mac secure with software updates.

The best way to keep your Mac secure is to run the latest software. When new updates are available, macOS sends you a notification — or you can opt in to have updates installed automatically when your Mac is not in use. macOS checks for new updates every day and starts applying them in the background, so it’s easier and faster than ever to always have the latest and safest version.

Protection starts at the core.

The technically sophisticated runtime protections in macOS work at the very core of your Mac to keep your system safe from malware. This starts with state-of-the-art antivirus software built in to block and remove malware. Technologies like XD (execute disable), ASLR (address space layout randomization), and SIP (system integrity protection) make it difficult for malware to do harm, and they ensure that processes with root permission cannot change critical system files.

Download apps safely from the Mac App Store. And the internet.

Now apps from both the App Store and the internet can be installed worry-free. App Review makes sure each app in the App Store is reviewed before it’s accepted. Gatekeeper on your Mac ensures that all apps from the internet have already been checked by Apple for known malicious code — before you run them the first time. If there’s ever a problem with an app, Apple can quickly stop new installations and even block the app from launching again.

Stay in control of what data apps can access.

Mac Stuck On Verifying

Apps need your permission to access files in your Documents, Downloads, and Desktop folders as well as in iCloud Drive and external volumes. And you’ll be prompted before any app can access the camera or mic, capture keyboard activity, or take a photo or video of your screen.

FileVault 2 encrypts your data.

With FileVault 2, your data is safe and secure — even if your Mac falls into the wrong hands. FileVault 2 encrypts the entire drive on your Mac, protecting your data with XTS-AES 128 encryption. Mac computers built on the Apple M1 chip take data protection even further by using dedicated hardware to protect your login password and enabling file-level encryption, which developers can take advantage of — just as on iPhone.

Online privacy isn’t just something you should hope for — it’s something you should expect. That’s why Safari comes with powerful privacy protection technology built in, including Intelligent Tracking Prevention that identifies trackers and helps prevent them from profiling or following you across the web.
