Can I hide certain Mac App Store updates?

[sananda]

I have two updates showing with the usual badge on the Mac App Store icon. But I don't want to update the apps and I'd rather not see the badge. It used to be that we could hide apps in the update page of the Mac App Store but I don't seem too be able to do that.

Is it possible to get rid of the badge without updating?

What's your macOS? The ability to hide updates was removed since Mojave.

But I found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250324915 which might help you. Unfortunately, I can't try this out since my apps are all up to date.

Let me know if this works.

I'm on Big Sur.

I found that same thread yesterday and followed the steps. But unfortunately the badge came back.
