I am trying to purchase Nearby Explorer, based on the recommendation of
many in this group.
All goes well until I tap purchase.
I have purchased at least 5 other apps in the past without a problem.
But now I am asked to verify my billing method and. If I tap continue, I
am taken to settings; Beverly Wieland; iCloud, iTunes and App store.
Since my payment information always worked, I'm not sure what they want me
to do.
I enter the credit card number and security code. But the expiration date
just shows mm/yyyy and does not let me edit it.
When I tap save, I get an error that my card is expiring soon and asked if
I want to enter another card.
I don't really want to use another card, but tap okay anyway and get the
same screen I just filled out (again with no way to edit the expiration
date).
The only difference this time is that I am using an iPhone 7 with the
latest iOS, 11.4.1; just updated yesterday.
My other apps were purchased using an iPhone 4S with iOS 9.
I use the iPhone with a Focus 14 blue Braille display, but this should not
be a factor in my problem.
I logged into:
https://appleid.apple.com
using my computer, and found that the expiration date for my card was
incorrect. I fixed it, but that does not help with this purchase.
In desperation I went into settings and changed my payment method to
paypal. I logged in successfully to make the purchase. But I was asked
to receive and enter a 6-digit code in order to verify my paypal account.
I received the code via a text message. But when I tried to enter it I
heard the sound indicating no place to type, even though the prompt said
it was in edit mode with insertion point at start.
I'm afraid this is going to be something no one has heard of. But I've
been struggling for hours and really need the app.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will try another card in the mean
time, but it is one I only use when a merchant does not take Discover.
Thanks much in advance,
Beverly Wieland
