MAS says install, and not open (split)


Recommended Posts

I have all 3 Affinity apps: Photo, Designer and Publisher. I bought Publisher direct from Affinity, but Photo and Designer from the Mac App Store.

Today, Sunday April 19, 2020, under the "Updates" tab, neither app is listed. When opening the apps, no indication to update.

Under the "Purchased" tab, I can search for Photo and Designer, and both have an "Install" button.

I clicked on "Install", opened both apps, and they are updated, but returning to the MAS "Purchased" tab still shows "Install" buttons for both instead of "Open".

Is it correct to indicate the status of both apps this way?

Jeremy,

It's probably best to do that. Thanks.

 

Out of interest which version of Mac OS are you using? As you seem to be using an older version of the App Store.

Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

Callum,

I'm on macOS 10.13.6, and have been on this version for quite some time. The issue of "download", "install" had not shown up until recently, with no new OS updates being made, therefore, it is improbable that it is due to the macOS version since it appeared fine prior.
