You must have a valid payment method in your iTunes account, even to download free apps. If you have no outstanding balances, no subscriptions and no apps that offer in-app purchases you can remove the payment method from your account, but if you don’t meet these requirements you must have a payment method. In addition, if you do have a payment method it must be valid and not have expired.
