I've just updated to High Sierra, reinstalling my iMac.

A workaround I am using until this is fixed:

loginToAppStore () {
  echo -e "\nPlease log in to the app store..."

  open -a "/Applications/App Store.app"

  until (mas account > /dev/null);
  do
    sleep 3
  done
}

[daneov]

Same here :( And her I thought to have found the perfect tool to provision my development environment :/

[dotCipher]

Yeah, same problem here. If there is a lack of bandwidth from the original maintainers, I would be more than happy to dedicate time towards a solution if someone gave me some guidance of the dev process for this project (kindof a swift noob myself).

Would anyone know if there are any resources for learning the paradigms present in this repo (ie. how it interacts with the AppStore, APIs, etc)?

This project seems like the only solution when it comes to automating / script AppStore interactions, so I would love to see some traction on this.

[ybart]

Apparently, the signin command was added by this commit :

d80ad6e

This uses a tool call class-dump to dump private headers which can then be used to interact with AppStore.

As this uses unsupported private headers, it might break for any macOS release.

[jamesdh]

@argon any chance you're still involved with mas? I realize the sign-on might be more pain than it's worth especially with multi-factor auth now becoming more common, but perhaps we could just resort to an OSA script that opens the login dialog within the App Store or something similar as a fallback.

[peterbourgon]

Also getting this issue. Is there a workaround? mas is unusable as-is.

[jamesdh]

@peterbourgon you can either open App Store.app and manually sign in and/or what I do....go to System Preferences -> App Store -> Password Settings, and change "Purchases and In-app Purchases" to "Require After 15 minutes" and "Free Downloads" to "Save Password".

It's not perfect, meaning anytime you have a fresh install you have to remember to do that, but it helps.

[stalinkay]

[jazaval]

Still seeing this on 10.13.3 and the latest 10.13.4 (beta 3).

[phatblat]

Thanks for the updates and details, everyone. Sorry it has been broken for so long, but I'm looking into this now.

It appears that the private API mas was using has changed and -signinWithContext:replyBlock: was removed. I'm researching this now but the fix is going to be a bit tricky in order to maintain support for older OSes.

[jimratliff]

MikeRatcliffe's (no relation!) suggestion worked perfectly for me. I elaborated on it a little by adding an outer until loop that tests whether the user is already signed into the App Store before launching the App Store to sign in:

function login_to_Mac_App_Store () {
#	Attempt at workaround for High Sierra error that prevents logging into Mac App Store
#		See Mike Ratcliffe, https://github.com/mas-cli/mas/issues/107#issuecomment-335514316

# Test if signed in. If not, launch MAS and sign in.

until (mas account > /dev/null); # If signed in, drop to outer "done"
do
#	If here, not logged in

	echo -e "You are not yet logged into the Mac App Store."
	echo -e "I will launch the Mac App Store now."
	echo -e "\nPlease log in to the Mac App Store..."
	open -a "/Applications/App Store.app"

#	until loop waits patiently until scriptrunner signs into Mac App Store
	until (mas account > /dev/null);
	do
		sleep 3
    	echo -e "… zzz …."
  	done	
done
echo -e "You are signed into the Mac App Store."
signed_in_user=$(mas account)
echo -e "MAS user name: $signed_in_user"
}

Hello!

While attempting to revive a new workstation via make and brew-bundler, I was hitting this same issue. What allowed me to overcome it was the following:

• In Internet Accounts under Settings, ensure you add an iCloud login for your AppleID.
• Once done, open the App Store and click Purchased. You should see your older installed apps there.
• With the App Store window open, reattempt to install via mas. The App Store window might prompt you to authenticate with your AppleID during the first package run.

With the following, I was able to get mas 1.4.1 on OS X 10.13.5 (17F77) working.

[robfletcher]

On 10.14 Mojave signing in to the App Store does not seem to help. I've done that but mas account still reports "Not signed in"

[jonathan-automox]

I would say that the priority would be to get it working for the newer OSes. Hoping others on this thread would agree. You can always go with an older version of mas-cli for the older OS support.

[phatblat]

Supporting older macOS versions will be easy from an API standpoint. Homebrew has proven to be a challenge due to the way it builds bottles. This is why we now have a custom tap for older macOS support.

[kryptonianson]

any movement on this by any chance? thanks everyone!

[phatblat]

@kryptonianson the fix for this has stalled. Know anyone good at debugging closed source private Apple frameworks?
