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.
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!
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..
Same here. It's super annoying.
