Catalina App Store NOT working. Downloads always WAiTiNG

Came from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250717258


The last app I downloaded from App Store was MacOS Catalina.

After upgrading to Catalina, I can't download apps from App Store anymore.


It's forever waiting...


Tried all possible ways I could find online


Signing out from App Store / MacBook / iTunes

Shut Down my Mac

Clearing cache on the internet browser / App Store folder

DNS changed / removed / edited

Killed storedownloadd & tried downloading from App Store purchase page


Issue not resolved =(

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

The solution is to reinstall MacOS with APFS disk format.


A fresh reinstall of macOS using usb disk resolved this issue for me.


Follow this https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372 for a usb media creation.


This ressolved the issue for me.
