My Mac app is approved for sale in the store. It is free to download with several in-app purchases.


When I use the Mac App Store (10.14 or 10.13) and 'Get' the app I see it appear briefly in the Applications directory with the name:

XYZ.appdownload. (this has the correct icon)


AND then it just disappears!! The Store shows no error and I can apparantly repeat this over and over...

What is going on? What should I do?Please advise!

Was able get a proper download by removing all debug versions of the app from the machine.


The successfull download of the app did have the full 37M size.

Some Additional Data


just noticed that the Archive I uploaded to Apple was 37.1MB

The AppStore shows the application 'Size' as 11.8MB


Is this usual - to have 3x difference?
