Bug description
In App Store, Books, News, Music, and TV, if you are logged into two App Store accounts at the same time, it can cause Mac App Store (MAS) to be unable to update apps that were downloaded with the first account.
A system popup will appear, stating that the current app was not downloaded with this Apple ID.
Steps to reproduce
You can check how many App Store accounts are currently logged in by going to Settings -> [Your Name at the Top] -> Media & Purchases.
If multiple App Store accounts are logged in, this issue may be triggered.
The reason for using multiple accounts is that different country/region App Stores offer different apps. Many apps available in the China or Japan App Stores are not listed in the U.S. App Store.
