App "Download Pending" (Play Store)

You click install, but it stays on "Pending" forever and never starts the download.

Step-by-Step Fix
1
Stop All Other Updates
The Play Store only downloads one app at a time.
2
Clear Play Store Cache
Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Storage > Clear Cache.
3
Check WiFi vs Data Settings
Ensure you haven't set it to "Over WiFi only" while on mobile data.
When to See a Technician
This is usually caused by Google Play Services updating itself in the background.
