I have a quite annoying issue/bug.
macOS tries to install every single app I have on my iPhone and each installation fails.
I get a bunch of notifications, covering the entire screen, saying "App download failed - Couldn't install 'APP_NAME'. Try again later."
What can I do about this? Can I disable it?
I attach the screenshot. Pay attention to notifications.
Turn off "Automatically download apps purchased on other devices" in the App Store > Preferences.

If you have an M1 Mac, it can run some iOS apps.
If you have your devices set to download items downloaded to other devices, it will do just that.
I don't have an M1 Mac, so I don't know where they put that setting on the Mac. It's in the App Store Settings on the iPhone.
There wouldn’t be a setting on any other Mac as they cannot run iOS apps. Only Macs with Apple Silicon would be able to run them, so only those would have such a setting. I don’t own one, so don’t know if it exists..
Thank you for the answer.
No, my MacBook is from 2014 and has Intel processor.
I tried checking Apple ID and App Store settings on both - my iPhone and MacBook - and didn't find any setting like that.
Maybe you can give some hints on how to find it out?
Thanks!
Same here. It's super annoying.
