App store install/update stuck

About updating ios app on apple silicon macbook pro on Tahoe: for example, just had the overcast app stuck during update. Manually deleted the overcast app, then restarted: now I cannot install it from the app store: the “download from cloud” button just spins and returns to the download button again.

In the console log entry, I see

[TFUFD01C516/fm.overcast.overcast:888422857]: Failed to set IXProgressHint on the coordinator: Error Domain=IXErrorDomain Code=5 “A coordinated app install already exists for [fm.overcast.overcast/Invalid/[system-defined]] with intent IXCoordinatorIntentUpdating (creator App Store) but request by appstoreagent (pid 1113) was for intent IXCoordinatorIntentInitiating” UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Coordinated install exists with different intent., FunctionName=-[IXSClientConnection _remote_createAppInstallCoordinatorWithSeed:createIfNotExisting:requireMatchingIntent:scopeRequirement:completion:], SourceFileLine=641, NSLocalizedDescription=A coordinated app install already exists for [fm.overcast.overcast/Invalid/[system-defined]] with intent IXCoordinatorIntentUpdating (creator App Store) but request by appstoreagent (pid 1113) was for intent IXCoordinatorIntentInitiating}

it appears it’s stuck in the update stage somehow. How do I clear the corresponding records to un-stuck this? Already tried safe mode, and delete app store cacahes

Usually quitting and restarting the App store resolves this.

One thing I’ve noticed with iOS apps on macOS, is that they are sometimes running in the background even after they’ve been quit. (Nothing nepharious—clearly just an Apple bug.) It’s worth opening the force quit menu (command-option-esc) to make sure Overcase isn’t running and force-quitting it if it is.
