App Store on MacBook Pro

I have One Drive installed on my MacBook Pro. I got notification that it need update but when I open App Store > Update > click on "update" under One Drive, the update did not execute. Instead, it just started and then ended right away without doing anything. I tried signed out of App Store > Reboot> and then Sign Back in but same thing happen.

After many tries, I just want to the Application Folder> One Drive > right click on "show package contents" and remove the _MASReceipt folder. Now there is no more update notification for the OneDrive update in App Store. However OneDrive open with no problem & function normally.

Is there any reason why OneDrive could not be updated in App Store?? Should I not remove the MASReceipt folder??

Thanks for any input.

The receipt is how the Mac App Store knows that app is one of its own and not some app you downloaded from the internet. That id your Apple ID in the downloaded copy's DNA.

No it shouldn't be removed.

Delete the app and redownload it. You should get the newest version and restore your Apple ID to the copy.
