I'm also seeing this, and can reproduce it when installing mas-cli via the tap as well.

$ mas version  
1.8.6

$ mas outdated

$ system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType -detailLevel mini

I wonder if this is a Universal binary issue actually, Ivory works on both macOS and iOS and looking on the App Store page it lists iOS 15.5 as the minimum version yet on macOS it's 13.0 or later. On macOS App Store it shows the latest release as 1.0.1 , but on the iOS App Store it lists 1.4.1 as the latest release.

Looks like this is a duplicate of #491 and there's a potential fix up at #496

@caius Thanks. It does look like a dupe. I missed that one. FYI, the macOS and iOS versions of Ivory are different apps…

Hello,

I've encountered a similar issue as described here.

Environment:

• mas-cli version: 1.8.6
• macOS version: 13.5.1

Issue:
When I run mas outdated, it shows an update for 辞書 by 物書堂 from version 1.2.44 to 1.2.45. However, upon checking the App Store, the latest version available is 1.2.44.

Reproduction:

1. Run mas outdated.
2. Observe the reported version discrepancy for 辞書 by 物書堂.

Is there any workaround or solution for this?

Thank you.
