I don't have iOS 12 to know the exact menu area to look.. but check if you have something similar to this

Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Installing Apps

make sure that's set to 'Allow'

In iOS 14, if that is set to 'Don't Allow', it will hide the App Store
