@mroesch asked how to find the “Downloads” folder for the Mac App Store. Apple changed this from the time I posted the one and only app I ever did to MAS (a while ago). So, here’s how to do it now.
First, open up iTerm or Terminal and enter:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
(don’t forget to hit return)
[Re]Start the MAS app and you should now see a Debug menu with the option to show the MAS Downloads folder. There are many other interesting actions/options there as well.
yes,thank you, finally i found the download folder
Thanks… I spend lot of time to find it .. but ultimately your tip works!! Thanks again!
thank you this is very helpful
i’m sorry so after that can i delete the folder?
Great!
so is this folder modifiable and can be changed to a different directory? or no.
In yosemite i can’t find it. is there a solution for this ?
Open the App Store application. Go to the menu bar heading Debug/Show Download Folder. That’s all there is to it.
