Can't update app like normal and instead have to re-download it?

[chris4565]

Hi guys,

So I updated the "Deliveries" app through the app store a few weeks back. Now the program MacUpdater showed me an update. I went into the App store and then to the "Deliveries" app page and saw that there's no "Update" button. Instead there was this cloud symbol with the arrow which is normally there when an app got once downloaded but isn't installed at the moment.

Then I went into the app itself and checked the version and it was something like 3.x.x but according to the app store the 9.0 version is 3 months old and I definitely updated some time in the last weeks/months.

I then uninstalled the app and re-installed it and now everything works but I was just wondering why this was so strange. Is there an explanation for it?

Thanks and best wishes

The new version of Deliveries is a separate app from the old version. Developers do this occasionally and in this case it was apparently done because the pricing model changed.

I used Deliveries 3.2.4 up until I read this thread. I was not aware that there was a new version. Did that happen just recently?

9.11 is the latest that I have. I am also a yearly subscriber.

Version 9.0 which is the major update is from 3 months ago according to the App store.
