Apps are tied to the Apple Id that bought/download them. Signing out of the Apple Id on a device does not change this.


However, what you did, is specifically what the message you bare receiving is trying to prevent. Changing Apple IDs too frequently on a single device is not allowed as that can lead to piracy of software and media.


There is no way around the 90 day wait at this point. You will not be able to use things like Apple music that require the association of the Apple ID to the device as well as downloading previous purchases.
