I’ve tried everything to solve this issue. Reset my password multiple times, uninstalled the app, etc. I cannot escape this error no matter what I try. My WiFi connection is absolutely perfect, and yes this error still happens when I’m using mobile data as well. Definitely not a server connection issue. 

The issue is most likely related to the EA account you are trying to link.
It's either already linked with another account, or it is disabled/deactivated. Have you tried to use another email?

I agree, it has to be with my email address. I’ve only used the email address associated with my Game Center account as that is the only one I have. Is there any way to unlink and then relink? 

I don’t have the option to give an email. The moment I hit connect, it flashes white and then it closes and gives an error message.

At the moment it's not possible to unlink an account. However, if you have access to the email you can go to ea.com. Sign into the account and update the email on the account linked to the webstore.

I meant when I try to use ea connect feature.

So I’ve done this, I went to EA.com and updated the email address associated with my account to a brand new one. The problem is that email address becomes somehow associated with my old account (the one I no longer have access to) as opposed to my current one. And I can’t change it because the connect option doesn’t work either - any way around this?
