I have all the google apps on my iPhone 7 working fine and I erased the data for use with another ID and now I can’t download any of the apps. Says it requires iOS 17/18 and my version is 15.8.
The software updates don’t show new updates, it says phone is up to date!(iOS 15.8) I’ve refreshed that page many times and its still the same
now I can’t use any of the google apps but I had access to all just an hour ago right before the transfer !

You may be able to get compatible versions from your purchase history.

It will tell you the current version is not compatible, but should offer a compatible version if one exists.
It sounds as if you may have older versions of the Google apps on your phone. If Google no longer makes those available for download, then you are out of luck. Some developers do but not all.
Which apps do you need? It's possible that you can access the data in a different way or use other alternatives. For example, Apple's Mail program should be able to access Gmail.
If the apps require iOS of 17/18 and your iPhone is not able to update that high, then your only option at this point is to buy a new(er) phone that supports the higher iOS. Sorry. There is no other solution.
Your iPhone 7 cannot update past 15.8. Its hardware is not capable. Refreshing the screen will not help. Your phone was released in Sept, 2016. A lot have changed in technology in those 7.5 years.
