When you download an app, it should work as promised. Which is why human App Reviewers ensure that the apps on the App Store adhere to our strict app review standards. Our App Store Review Guidelines require apps to be safe, provide a good user experience, comply with our privacy rules, secure devices from malware and threats, and use approved business models.
Of course, there has been the Apple download site for Mac apps for quite some time now but the Mac App Store is a much more dedicated and OS X integrated affair that makes browsing, downloading, installing and updating Mac Apps much slicker. Perhaps most importantly however, it removes the file hosting burden from developers, gives them much wider coverage for their apps and of course, offers both them and Apple the chance to make more money from their creations.
Mac Os X App Store Download
To use the Mac App Store, you'll need to upgrade to OS X 10.6.6 via Software Update which is available here. Download sizes vary, but it the system update can be as large as 1GB. Once installed, you'll have access to the App Store via a blue App Store icon in your Dock or via your Menu Bar. The main window features a cycle of different promotions which can change several times while you're using the store. The amount of information is a bit overwhelming at first with New and Noteworthy, Staff Favorites, What's Hot and the Top 10 Sales, Free and Grossing all vying for space in the main window.
You only get one screenshot in some cases which is a bit limited but you can read lots of customer reviews, program details plus links to more apps by the same developer. To download the application, you'll need to click on the "Free" or "Payment" button in the top left hand corner. You'll then be prompted to sign into your Apple account (or sign-up for one). If you've never used your ID to purchase anything from Apple - such as an iTunes track for example - you'll be prompted to review your account details and enter credit card information in case you want to purchase apps. Users who only intend on downloading free apps may object to this and perhaps there should be an option to omit this unless you want to purchase apps.
Installation of applications is incredibly fast - a status bar in the Dock icon reveals how much time is left for downloading and installation and apps are ready to use in your Dock within seconds depending on the size of the application. This is definitely one of the Mac App Store's strongest features. Even better, updates take place automatically although there's no guarantee they will be free if the developer chooses to charge a fee.
We have an older Macbook we are using for a temporary work computer. We need to access a certain website. The website requires that we upgrade Safari. We tried to upgrade Safari. Safari said we have to update our OS X to at least Snow Leopard or Lion, before we can upgrade Safari. We purchased Lion. The email said to go download the file using your redemption code. We opened iTunes, the only want to buy software in OS X 10.5.8 that I am aware. It said "This code must be redeemed in the MAC app store". We went to the web page for the Mac App Store. It said we must have OS X 6 or higher to have the Mac Apple Store! %&#$! So basically I have to have OS X 6 or higher, in order to be able to download the Mac App Store, and I must have the Mac App Store to be able to upgrade to OS X 6 or higher!
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
These UID named folders are apparently the half-downloaded files from the App Store app and are the folders that need to be deleted to remove space in low disk space conditions. To be sure, you can always use du -s * on the folders in this directory to see how much space they are consuming.
You may also encounter issues if you are trying to download an older version of macOS that your Mac cannot support. Usually when Apple introduces a new Mac it will not be able to run the version of macOS that shipped before the one installed on that Mac. The older macOS might not support certain components in that Mac, for example.
However, when Apple introduced Mojave the Mac App Store changed, and these installers can no longer be searched for or found in the purchased section of the store. (Although we do have redirect links in the section above to each of the relevant pages on the Mac App Store.)
If the old version of the OS you are after predates Snow Leopard and you have a developer account you might be able to get it from developer.apple.com/downloads. If you search within the OS X category you should see downloads for all versions of OS X, at least from version 10.3 to 10.6.
The packages will wait for installation, before being removed, so making sure System Preferences > App Store is set to not automatically update and clicking "Not Now" before the download, or "Later" in the installation window will postpone installation and therefore removal.
Using the example in your question, you can click on the macOS icon to filter the list by macOS downloads. Doing this will provide you with access to Security updates, combo updates, etc relating to macOS.
You also have the option of using the Search field to search for a specific download. For example, entering Security update as a search term will present you with Security Updates going back to 2003. You can also search for specific updates relating to OS versions or Apple hardware.
When the testing period is over, you'll no longer be able to open the beta build. To install the App Store version of the app, download or purchase the app from the App Store. In-app purchases are free only during beta testing, and any in-app purchases made during testing will not carry over to App Store versions.
Note: To automatically download additional in-app content and assets in the background once a beta app is installed in iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or macOS 13, turn on Additional In-App Content in your App Store settings for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
UPDATE: Engadget discovered a bug in the Mac App Store already, where you'll get an "unknown error occurred (100)" message when first launching the store after the software update. In order to fix this problem, simply quit the store and reload it. If that doesn't work, try rebooting and the launching the store again. That should do the trick.
The new Mac App Store is just like the iOS App Store for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. So, if you've shopped for mobile apps before, it should be a breeze for you to find and download Mac applications. You can browse Mac apps by category, such as games, productivity, music, and more. Or do a quick search for something specific. Read developer descriptions and user reviews. Flip through screenshots. When you find an app you like, click to buy it.
To see the Mac App Store in all its glory, start using it! Or visit the Mac App Store webpage on Apple for more information about purchasing and downloading applications and updating them in the future.
When installing and launching apps, your Mac may display security warnings. For example, when you download an app from the Internet, your Mac will ask for confirmation before you run it the first time. (This assumes that in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences you allow apps downloaded from identified developers. That is the default setting; it can be adjusted by clicking the lock, entering your admin password, and selecting the relevant radio button.)
In the General pane of System Preferences is a setting to allow apps downloaded from the App Store, or from the App Store and identified developers. These latter are developers who have accounts with Apple, and sign their apps with an Apple-provided certificate, to ensure their provenance.

There are a few reasons for failure, and no easy way to know which is the underlying cause. If you do encounter a failure, you will need to re-download the entire file again each time you try to fix the failure. As the latest version is 8 gigabytes, I didn't much enjoy this approach.
