The Apple Store seems to be broken since beta 1. I can 'login' but every app I purchsed and installed show a cloud icon instead of 'open' or 'update' as like they are not installed at all.

I can't update any apps since they don't show up on Mac App Store, but I can manually click the cloud icon to force reinstall the latest version (I can compare the version number to see if an app is updated).

But it gets worse, after beta 3 it even tells me 'this app is already installed' (so you do know huh?), but why dont you show it on app store!

I have tried everything I could find online:
reinstall OS (clean install);
logout icloud then log back in;
reset smc & everything;
logon into different icloud id;
create a new user account;

Nothing works.

It sucks. Apple couldn't fix it after 5 builds?

1. Open terminal
2. Copy what follows and paste into terminal (INCLUDE the quote marks):

sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Seeding.framework/Versions/A/Resources/seedutil enroll DeveloperSeed && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "clear dict" -c "add :SeedProgram string DeveloperSeed" "$3/Users/Shared/.SeedEnrollment.plist"

3. Enter password
4. Now open the Software Update pref pane.
Any difference?

Hi Fishrrman, I didn't try this because I dont know if this is what I wanted. I mean I cannot download any apps from MAS, but having no issues with Software Update prefpane. You sure we are talking about the same thing?

Thanks.
