[Known issue] `mas` (Mac App Store CLI) not installing Apps in macOS 12+ #2

Open Swiss-Mac-User opened 1 year ago

Swiss-Mac-User commented 1 year ago

The Homebrew extension mas (Mac App Store command line interface), for automatic Apps install from the Mac App Store, won't recognize a successful App Store-authentication during setup.

Reason is the known issue and lacking support by the mas library itself, as tracked in the issue here:

mas-cli/mas#417

Workaround

Note that mas will be successfully installed (if enabled), and hence can later be used in the Terminal to manually install Apps from the Mac App Store.
