App Store sign in endless loop with appleID
I've just purchased an M1 chip iMac - August 2021 - MacOS Big Sur 11.5.2.
I was alerted that there were updates to several Mac Apps and so I tried to update them but then I get into an endless sign in loop for the App Store. How many of you are dealing with this currently and what is the solution?
I've chatted with support, but we were unable to complete the session. Here's what we tried:
- I went into the apple ID website to add billing and shipping information for my account.
- That didn't change the outcome.
- Started the computer from safe mode and attempted the sign in with the same result - an endless sign in loop.
I'd love to know the solution, because this just seems...well...a stupid (but frustrating) issue.
