Please keep to English on this forum.

Is this just this one app, or any app over a certain size?

If you have previously been able to download large apps with cellular data and can't now, then it may be you have exceeded your data plan or your carrier has recently changed some configuration. Contact them and see if anything has changed.

I`m from India(Network provider - Airtel), carriers can`t play role in this(If I`m not mistaken), I set Unlimited in Data Sense, All apps are working perfectly with internet connection, I get mail,whatsapp and hike notification`s!

There is however a build-in cap that prevents that you can download "large" games or OS updates via cellular data.
In my case the cap us 100 Mb but for some it's 50 mb.
This is done by Microsoft and can not be changed.
This is done by Microsoft because WiFi is more stable then cellular data and/or to prevent that you can file a complain against them that you got a big bill because cellular data was used to download.
You may not like this but it is like it is at this moment.

ha ha ha..... Same problem with me in sometime but no problem.
here some steps.... Complete those steps I am 100% sure your problem is solved.....
step 1 - change your airtel sim card to another prepaid number ex-aircel,idea or other.
step 2 - open internet ( its work without internet for batter turn on data) and use store 1,2 minutes.
step 3 - again insert previous Airtel sim then open store and you may download up to 100mb under apps over cellular data..
I am sure your problem is solved. I am from India its work!!!!

When you click on the description (waiting on Wi-Fi or something) doesn't it give you an option that says Download Anyway? I get that option on my phone and when i select that apps download/update on cellular
