Big Sur keeps trying to install iOS apps on Intel Mac

[jianglai]

Not sure if this has been mentioned here, but on my Intel iMac, App Store keeps trying to install iOS apps that I newly purchased on my iPhone. I have "automatically download apps purchased on other devices" checked but I assume it is smart enough to know that there's no Mac counterpart available. I guess I was wrong? My notification center is full of App Store install failures for these iOS only apps.

Anyone experience the same?

Yup keeps happening to me too. Been happening for a few weeks now

Yes, same. I've submitted a bug report a few minutes ago.

Uncheck "Automatically download apps purchased on other devices" worked for me. Haven't had the problem for a while now.

I'm running VLC, version 3.0.12.1. Its behaves as a macOS app, but is listed in my system report as "iOS." When I "Get Info" it advertises itself as "Apple Silicon." No complaints about performance. I downloaded directly from the developer.
