A common cause for Google Play problems is a lack of storage on your phone or SD card. Usually, you will receive a notification if your storage is low when attempting a download. However, if you still want to make sure storage is not causing the download to pend, there are a couple of things you can do.
Cancel the download, eject the SD card, then carefully reposition it and reattempt. Just press and hold the power button on your device, then tap Restart. You can try circumventing the download pending problem by getting your apps via your mobile or PC browser. All you need to do is visit the official Google Play website and log into your Google account.
Find it among the results and click it. You can then simply press install. You might be asked to enter your account password once more.
Clearing the Google Play Store app cache often solves a lot of problems, download pending issues included. Here is how you can do this Note: the steps might differ depending on your Android version and manufacturer UI, but only slightly. Finally, you should restart your device. Once your smartphone or tablet has rebooted, downloads should be no longer be pending.
Are your downloads still stubbornly pending? To check if one is currently available for your device, head to Settings. If an update pops up, install it, and hope for the best. You can also check if the Google Play Store needs an update itself. Prioritize the download From the Home Screen, touch and hold the app. Restart your device Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then check to see if you can download or update apps. Published Date: October 01, Yes No.
Character limit: That was what finally fixed the problem for me. The next time I launched the App Store app, it loaded almost immediately.
I hope Apple is more aware of this type of problem than they sometimes appear to be. But until the world is how we wish it would be, we have to figure out how to make do with it as it is. My hope is that someone having this issue may find this page via Google, etc. My thanks to Kyle Demilo aka macfixer for his help solving this mystery, and clearly living up to his Twitter name. Update: I have had this happen enough times that I made a shell script to somewhat automate the process.
After force-killing appstoreagent , there was no need to log out and log in again in the App Store. Updates and downloads just work again. At a high level, the App Store is a global network of load balancers that provide listings to make up the content you see in the App Store. It has a second level of load balancers that handle the transition to "buy" anything and once that transaction happens, then your account will go initiate the request to download a purchased asset.
Lots of things can go wrong and usually it's with the network or one of the servers behind the load balancer that's stuck and the load balancer doesn't know that it's broken and route around that one failure on one server.
Practically, you can and should wait as a first step. Log out, restart the Mac, get some tea or coffee and try again. When you have a persistent failure, then here's how I attack it. By knowing if it's an issue with allocating that item to your account, you can do very little except sign out, sign in, try another account on your Mac or another Mac and then contact store support for purchasing support. If you can purchase the item but can't download it or the other one - now you're back to figuring out the network of content delivery servers.
Also, the App Store can tell you if it's working well if you look at an app you have a backup or can afford to re-download once your account is set. Find that app in purchased and move it to trash. The App Store should change from telling you it can open that app to it can download that app pithing a few seconds of moving that app to Trash.
If you attempt to re-download it, the console app will log hundreds of diagnostic messages to the logs. I had same symptoms as greenforest except after signing out I was unable to sign in error. Then I found another stack exchange answer by Adrian Voica which fixed the sign in issue, and after a restart, also let me download apps as expected. I've had the same problem when upgrading from macOS No App Store updates were going through, and the spinner kept on spinning.
