The basic idea behind the download pending error is that Google prioritizes background updates and installations to more recent downloads. Clearly, to allow the download, the earlier processes must be stopped first. This might seem counterintuitive as many of us feel that auto-updates free us from waiting for new features, bug fixes and security patches. The key is to be selective about the apps requiring auto-updates.
Usually, if there is much less free space, it can interfere with the download of apps. Optionally, you may force-stop the Google Play Store app and start it once again. Sometimes SD cards can cause download issues on Play Store if they have not been set up properly. In such cases take the card out and reinsert it.
However, if it was corrupted, stop using the SD card immediately. After selecting the app in a browser window, you have to choose your device model. You can check later if the app was successfully downloaded on the device.
It might be that you restarted your phone several times, emptied the cache, and checked the SD cards, but nothing has worked. In such unlikely situations, you can always delete your Google Account associated with Play Store and add it back up once again.
