Mac App Store Cracked Apps Update All Greyed
The visible one, seen above, is that there’s no longer an immediately obvious way to allow unsigned apps to open. The System Preferences pane now limits you to two options, App Store and App store plus identified developers. This doesn’t mean that you’re left out in the cold if you really need to open an unsigned app, though. There is still an option to open it anyway – you just can’t allow it universally any more. To open an unsigned app, just right-click the app and select Open.
Removing the grayed out Apple ID email is as simple as following these quick few steps. Please note that it is impossible to test this with every app in the App Store but I haven’t seen anything to say that this isn’t the way it works for all apps. Go to the app listed in the App Store as needing an update (usually in the /Applications. After updating iTunes, my Mac app store icons (at the top of the window) are all greyed out. I've attached a picture to clarify. I've reset disk permissions, re-set the firewall, and am now out of ideas.
Mac App Store Update Hang
The second change is invisible to users, but limits the damage that can be done by a rogue app. Although unsigned apps will still appear to be stored in the Applications folder, macOS 10.12 actually stores them in a randomized location on your drive. This prevents repackaging attacks, where one app pretends to be another one, because the rogue app won’t be able to access the resources belonging to the real one. This is likely in response to the discovered by a security researcher last year and earlier this year. And on a related note, apps that are distributed outside of the Mac App Store in Sierra will be able to access iCloud features. That means developers distributing apps outside of the Mac App Store can now include things like iCloud Drive support, keychain, push notifications, MapKit and VPN entitlements.
