Unless you guys have apps that are waiting to download, or haven't finished downloading - the App Store will correct itself over time...I've seen this with every other beta, and am also seeing it now. I still have apps waiting to download, and the count is off...but it's slowly going back to zero.
Got a tip for us?

Apps on iOS 9 not updating

for me removing the app and reinstalling helped. furthermore I simply updated (not a clean install). Before the update, I entered some text into the searchbar of the AppStore App. After the update the text was still in the searchbar. after removing the text and killing the AppStore App the text was still in the search bar.
\\\edit
after clean install and applying latest backup from 8.4.1 the text is still not removed from the ApStore App Search field
. Cant imagine what else might be stored onto the device which is of no use....

Has nothing to do with the install. Its been happening on my 6+ for 2 days now and I installed the GM last week. I also had a similar issue yesterday on iPad with 8.4 that hasn't been updated in many months.

This worked...took several tries and a restart...but its all downloading now. I have 3 large downloads in the que (300+mb each...maybe this had something to do with the issue??)
I downloaded a ton of app updates about an hour prior to updating my iPhone 5s and iPad Air 2 to iOS 9. Updates for a few apps that are on both showed up after my iPad updated, but before my iPhone updated so I know that they should have updates, but the App Store is showing no updates for either device.
That's not working since I don't see an "updates all apps" button appear. All the apps change from having no button to having an "open" button. There is never an update button.
reboot your iPhone. Then start App Store, and very quickly hit "UPDATES" button...then very quickly the "Update All" button will be accessible, but you need to be fast.
The problem is the app store isn't showing any apps that have updates in the Update tab.
Prior to upgrading to iOS 9, I updated all the apps that it showed needing updating. I then updated to iOS 9, but when I go to the app store, the list isn't updating to show apps that posted updates after I updated. I know there are some since if I search for an app, I can see it has a new version number that I have, but it's not showing the "Update" button and that app doesn't show up on the Updates tab.
It doesn't matter how fast I am, if the app updates never show up on the App Store update tab.
An update to this weirdness: when I left the office I checked for updates on my iPhone 6 and found that I had nine. All installed perfectly. When I got home, I decided to update other devices from the GM to the final build, thinking the app store issue we've seen was fixed. My iPad Air 2 found 14 updates but my wife's iPhone 6 Plus can't see any, even though I know she's got at least three (Amazon, Yelp and Dropbox).
Perhaps they'll show up tonight?

No you are not the only one. After I successfully updated, my App Store red balloon showed 19 updates. Once I opened the App Store App, the Update All at the top was greyed out and all apps showed Open. Afger a few goes, I noticed Update was shown for not even a second against apps, then changed to Open. I managed to click on an Update button after 2 attempts (it was like a game-like experience.......). Once that app successfully updated, 18 buttons showed Update.
Annoying, but seems to be ok now.
I guess I'm not sure what you guys are having trouble with? I have a handful of apps that for whatever reason with iOS 9 betas, the GM, 9.1 and even the 'new' 9.0 - after installing fresh and restoring my content, some apps just didn't restore...and the App Store for a while was showing some crazy number in the badge, despite there being no updates available after checking. I realized going into purchases and manually tapping the cloud icon for those apps that failed to restore then forced them to download, and shortly after the App Store badge finally disappeared.
