Left family sharing, now I can't update my Mac apps

After leaving family sharing (signed out, logged on to by own account in App Store and iTunes), I'm unable to update the apps that were already downloaded on my MacBook Pro. It gives me these two pop-up errors:

The apps I'm trying to update are free apps, too. How come this is happening? Am I not leaving Family Sharing properly?

Can't download apps purchased by family members with Family Sharing I have family sharing and purchase sharing set up with my family. However, after updating to MacOS Catalina, in the App Store I cannot see or download any apps purchased by my family members, and they can't see any of mine. We are all logged in to iCloud / App Store, and settings for family sharing and purchase sharing are turned on. Is this a Catalina bug?
