Cannot download to Mojave app store on Mac Pro 5,1 (4,1)

(also posted on "Ask Different" Stack Exchange)


Hello


I bought a second-hand Mac Pro 5,1 (ex- 4,1) which had Mojave installed . I could not get App Store to download any apps - various error messages including "Download cancelled". I am able to successfully sign on to my apple account through the web and App Store "view information" prompts me for my AppleID and I successfully log on. So I have an active AppleID connected to my Paypal account.


I have successfuly installed freeware apps such as Unigine Heaven outside of the App Store.


I reinstalled Mojave and have booted from the new drive - having removed the previous drive - so I know the Machine is running from a "clean install"


For what it is worth , the machine has 24Gb of RAM and a Sapphire RX580 video card.


I have copied part of the console log - which contains messages relating the App Store - but I don't know if these indicate any errors.


See: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0wHQumB_eDihmLMHhjx5tZq2Q#console%5Flog


There are many postings on various forums about problems with accessing Apps Store over Mojave and I have tried all the suggested fixes which are "guaranteed" to fix the problem - and none had any effect.


Do any of the attached messages give a clue as to what the problem might be failing to access App Store on the MacPro/Mojave?


Thanks,


Clive

I installed Catalina using the "Dosdude1 Catalina patcher". The Mac Pro 5,1 (ex 4,1) boots, is stable and I have successfully downloaded 3 software applications from App store. What an amazing achievement that patcher is.
