So I tried buying some shiny rocks the other day for my 2nd account and when I went to buy them in game, a screen popped up saying “Cannot Purchase Additional Content”. Can someone help me with this?

Exactly. So in this case, you'll just have to "claim" the game on the second account so the system doesn't think you're app sharing the game.

Hey holykat! We see that you are inquiring about not being able to purchase rocks on your second account. We would like to help you get pointed in the right direction. When it comes to secondary accounts, they are not allowed to make in-app purchases for shared games. This is currently not a feature we have. Only the account that owns the game is able to do this. In order to make purchases on secondary accounts you would need to purchase the game again for that account. We hope this has helped answer your question. If you would like to see these features added to our device or have other suggestions, you can always post them here on our Ideas forum page.

How does this work with a game that is free and already being played on the second profile?

So in order for you to purchase in-game items on your second account, you have to purchase the game you’re playing, on your second account

Unfortunately if the issue is within Steam, you may need to contact their Support Team. You could also try reaching out to the Gorilla Tag Team to see if they can help out.

Hey there! All you need to do is make sure you have the game installed on both accounts, rather than using app sharing services, as shared-apps can't have additional purchases made on them.
