Summary: I have some apps installed via the Mac App Store from both Japan, and the US. When updates are available for apps from both countries' stores, the experience is terrible: I'm forced to login using a particular Apple ID, and end up only getting bounced between the JP/US stores as the app forces me to change stores upon authentication. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have multiple apps needing updates, from the JP/US stores. 2. Click "Update All." Expected Results: 1. AppStore.app should ask me to authenticate both accounts. 2. AppStore.app should then update all apps, across both stores. Actual Results: 1. As I authenticate to one country's store, I'm forced to the "Featured" tab of that country's store. 2. When I click back to the Updates tab, clicking Update All again sends me back to step one, but for the other store. Version: OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 14B17 Notes: The authentication prompt provided by App Store.app does not allow me to specify the correct Apple ID for the currently-logged-in store. It forces one of them, with no indication as to why it selected that particular one. Configuration: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013), no accessories attached.
