Tahoe’s Mac App Store
All throughout the beta of #macOSTahoe, the Mac App Store app doesn’t show me updates. I have to use Latest.app to update my Mac App Store purchases. I was hope it would only be a beta issue but it seems to affect the RC as well. Anyone else seeing this?
And no, Command + R or the Reload menu item doesn’t help or work either.
I’ve also tried rebooting and signing out/in Mac App Store.
Love to work to get all my apps updated for Tahoe only to have Apple to break the Mac App Store so badly in Tahoe that people can’t update or install my apps.
It’s becoming apparent that macOS Tahoe has a number of issues that completely break the Mac App Store for installing and updating apps, some of which that can only be fixed by booting to Recovery mode and using the command line 😅 That is an extraordinary state to launch an OS in.
I reported it multiple times via feedback but no response from them. It only shows me updates if I search for the app and go to the apps store page. The update tab is always empty and refreshing it doesn’t do anything.
There are also reports on Reddit of apps not installing or updating.

I have downloaded Affinity Designer 2 from the Mac App Store under the recently launched macOS 26 Tahoe, in a M4 MacBook Pro. Mac App Store says that the app size is 2,89GB (screencap attached). Now, I have just seen that the same Affinity Designer 2 at the Mac App Store under a M2 MacBook Air at home (running macOS Sequoia) is just 546,4MB (also screencap attached). What is going on?
Ok, so considering that I am not the only one seeing this “size increase” in Tahoe’s Mac App Store, it is fairly safe to conclude that Apple has decided to make a few changes in how the MAS displays the estimated sizes of their apps in the new OS. I can confirm too that Whatsapp, Canvas, Lightroom and other apps appear bigger in Tahoe’s MAS as well. Or maybe all of this is just a temporary bug.

BTW, are MAS downloaded apps in not listed anymore in System Info > Applications in Tahoe? Because the ones that I have downloaded from the MAS don’t show anymore.
Tahoe’s store shows EagleFiler as slightly smaller than Sequoia’s store does, but it shows ToothFairy as more than twice as large as Sequoia’s store does.
