This is often due to Play Protect. Go to Play Store > Settings > Play Store Restrictions and make sure 'Install apps from unknown sources' is enabled. Also, check your device's security settings for any restrictions preventing app installation. If the issue persists, try clearing the cache and data of the Google Play Store and then restarting your device.
