Installing the Xbox app error.

Question

Hi there! So I'm having a problem when trying to install the Xbox app. Whenever I'm trying to install it from the Microsoft Store I always get the message: "Something unexpected happened. Reporting this problem will help us understand it better. You can wait a bit and try again or restart your device. That may help. Code: 0x80070005" I even tried installing it from the Xbox website but I get the same error code(0x80070005). If anyone can help it would mean a lot. Thank you
