Is it possible to download updates from more than one App Store? about mas HOT 7 CLOSED

AFAIK Apple doesn't provide a way for you to upgrade an app that was purchased via another Apple ID. You can simply rm -rf the file and do an install using the signed in account you want.

I do not know whether this is possible but I imagine there is probably a way. Unfortunately I don't think this is something I will be able to investigate further for a while.

FYI, currently when upgrade an app that was installed from other account, this will prompts, and mas will failed with:

Error: Download request failed: Unknown Error.

Deleting the app and installing with another account would mean paying twice for an app in many cases.

I think a good way to handle this would be to allow specifying which apps to upgrade, something like

mas upgrade "Xcode"

Why not keep logged in to 2 different Apple IDs?

Or at least is there a way to bypass that error dialog so I can script to do the upgrades with 2 different accounts?

We can't do this because Mac App Store.app can't do this. The only workaround is to manually sign-in under a different account.
