A couple months ago I wrote about Mac App Store updates failing on Mojave. This issue continued for a while after my blog post, but eventually Apple seemed to resolve it. Temporarily. Unfortunately, a very similar issue has arisen recently. Some Mojave users say that this issue was caused by installing Security Update 2021-002, which was released on February 9. Other Mojave users say that the Security Update was just a coincidence in time. I can't say definitively one way or another, but I can say definitively that the issue currently affects me (I did install Security Update 2021-002) and many other Mojave users. Apple's support community discussions are full of reports of App Store failures. There's no longer a 'cancelled' error message in App Store app, like there was back in December. Instead, the App Store progress spinner simply continues spinning, and the app never downloads. (I can tell that the app download never starts, because I have Little Snitch installed.) This issue affects both app updates and new app installs, making both fail, no matter how many times you try. Games on mac 2017. Adobe premiere pro requirements for mac.
Fortunately, there's a workaround, which was discovered by some users in the aforementioned discussion forums. While the App Store progress spinner is stuck spinning, launch the Activity Monitor app, which is located in the Utilities subfolder of the Applications folder. Search for the appstoreagent process, and Force Quit that process. (After force quit, appstoreagent will automatically restart with a different pid.) Then try installing the app again. Keep the App Store app open the whole time. (This workaround is only temporary. You may have to repeat it every time you want to update or install an app.)
What's the cause of the issue? I don't know. I did some analysis of the Console log, and I noticed that the successful and unsuccessful installations were identical up to a point:
Mac Os X App Store
In the unsuccessful cases, appstoreagent simply stops after 'Purchase complete', and the spinner keeps spinning. In the successful cases, on the other hand, appstoreagent continues by downloading the receipt data, the app icon, and then eventually the app itself.
Hopefully this information is useful to Apple engineering. Apple, please work on a fix ASAP! A lot of Mac users are still on Mojave. (Because, quite frankly, Catalina and Big Sur suck big time. Please do something about that too.)

App Store
Good news, everyone! It appears that Apple has fixed this problem sometime within the past 24 hours. There was no Mojave software update, so it must have been a server-side change.
