Affinity Photo for macOS updating (split)

[credesign]

Hello everybody,

I still can not get this update in MAS, anybody knows why ?

MAC OS 10.15.4

I take a look and Affinity Design is in version 1.9.0  maybe it was a auto-update.

Affinity Photo is still in 1.8.4

Affinity Publisher is 1.7.1

In Publisher I have a menu to check for updates and it detects the new updade.

Anybody knows why Affinity Photo and Publisher do not list in MAS updates ?

Thanks

Because you likely bought them directly from the Serif Store:
store.serif.com/account/downloads

Well I see that I have Affinity Publisher in Serif Store and Designer & Photo in MAC.

I would like to move Designer and Photo to Affinity Store but unfortunatly it´s not possible.

What about MAS, why can we I get Affinity Photo 1.9 update ?

How can I connect the application with the Affinity Store account ?

Thanks

I have no idea. Haven't updated mine from 1.8.4 yet. Currently I'm toying with 1.9.1 beta, waiting for the most offending bugs to be fixed…
But I can test on my Catalina partition if it works for me.

I have split this sub-thread off as it is not related to the new update specifically. The update should appear in your Mac App Store if you are using the correct Apple ID account that you bought with. As long as you know the Apple ID password I suggest you try logging out of the Mac App Store and back in again, OR just pressing CMD+R in the updates page, as described in the release notes at the bottom.

I did logout from MAS and login and I still can not see the application on Updates tab but they are in the Account Purchased items I am trying to download them and see how it works.

 

Thanks

yes that is the other option, uninstall from Applications, empty the bin, and redownload. it can only give you the latest, but I never suggest that until I know the user has then in their "purchased" list

I had no success with logging out & back into the MAS but what worked for me was to use the search box in the MAS app to look for "Affinity." That showed both AD & AP, each with an "Update" button when I opened their MAS pages.

I think it might work similarly from the Purchased tab without having to uninstall the current version but I did not try that.
