Show Mac App Store Downloads Folder (and more!)

@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.
