Hi!

Has anyone found a way to see family-shared "Purchases" in the App Store in catalina?

There used to be a drop down to see these - but that seems to have been removed :/ Help suggests there is a "purchased by" list - but that isn't there.

Annoying as my purchased apps are on an old, family shared, Apple ID!

Same for me.

I logged in as my primary Apple ID user (bought a lot of stuff). Nothing available. Every purchased app is showing as newer purchased (with prices behind).

Hopefully only a small bug :( But at the moment I'm without all my apps).

Fresh install from Catalina to my iMac.

The drop down list is showing up on mine, weird.

Did you do an upgrade or clean install?
Upgrade, it wasn't working over wifi, kept getting to 8.09GB and then saying it was corrupted, so plugged into CAT5 and it went fine, took 35mins once it started to install. been all good every since, this was 5 hours ago.

Logged on tonight and everything seems to be working. Perhaps a server-side issue that they've fixed?
