Mobile devices need and get to be ‘associated’ with an Apple Account, to allow such downloads. That may not happen if the mobile device was recently (last 90 days) associated with a different Apple Account. The device would notify you if that were the case (“This device is associated with another Apple Account. You cannot associate this device with another Apple Account for [number] days.”). Could that be it?
