I'm trying to download paid apps and getting today allways an error with 403. Any idea? Maybe Google server issues?
I resettet my creditcard informations but i'm still getting into this error.

I forget to say that i also can't install some free apps. :p

That is a Google issue. I've heard of other people complaining.

Error 403

I have the same problem with only one free app. All paid apps will get the update without problems, but for this one free app the update will not work.
It is the same with Wifi and with mobile net.

I had that problem too after flashing 2 roms and restoring all my apps twice within a short amount of time. I think there is some kind of limit on how much you can download from the market in a certain time period. If you go over that limit I think Google bans you from downloading for 24 hours. For me it went away in a day.

That may be, but I don't think it's the cause of this issue. I haven't been downloading much and I have the 403 error on one app I've been trying to update. In addition, I have been able to update other apps during the two days this issue has been going on.

Ironically, cause I'm using it, I had this problem with buying tapatalk.

It said it was bought but I couldn't download it. Couldn't be asked to complain... 1week later I got an email saying payment unsuccessful and that I had been refunded. Bought the app again and wallah it worked.

From my experience, just wait.

Hey guys, sorry for digging up an old topic but I am stuck with the same problem - Unable to download app due to an error (403)

This applies to previously purchased apps on a previous phone.

I tried:

- Clearing data and cache for Play Store - didn't work
- Clearing data and cache for Google Services Framework - didn't work
- Uninstalling updates for Play Store and updating all over again - didn't work
- Selecting account in Play Store settings - didn't work
- Downloading the same app from the website, so it will send it to my phone - same error ON THE WEBSITE (so it is not a network/wifi/3g/proxy problem) - didn't work


Meanwhile:

- Updating other apps - works
- Downloading free apps - works
- Purchasing another app - works



What could be the issue here guys, I'm frustrated as hell :eek::eek::confused::confused::rolleyes:

On my chinaphone MT6589, I had to get the update to Google Play. The version installed on the telephone gave a 403 error. When Google Play updated, the updated version worked fine. The play shortcut (top right of screen in the apps) still pointed to the original version and gave 403 errors until I uninstalled it (rooted phone).
