# This script was tested under
# OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5
# OS X Mavericks 10.9.x
# OS X El Capitan 10.11.x
# macOS Sierra 10.12.x
#
# Based on an idea from Rich Trouton for downloading from the AppStore:

# Short documentation
# - This script needs the temporary download folder from the AppStore App, this is individual by host
#   and is extracted by using "getconf DARWIN_USER_CACHE_DIR".
#   In macOS versions before Sierra (10.11.x and older), you can access the debug menu in the AppStore App:
#    - Quit the AppStore.app if it is running
#       - Open the terminal and enter "defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true"
#       - Start AppStore.app and browse the menu Debug
#    --> The debug menu is no longer accessible with macOS Sierra v10.12.0 or higher.
# - The folder /Users/Shared/AppStore_Packages is generated and used as the packages output folder
# - Open Terminal and start this script (if needed make it executable first), keep the window open.
#   If the output will be used with munikimport add the option "-m" to make the naming munki-friendly
# - Back in the AppStore.app login in to your account and navigate to your purchases
#   - Click "Install" for all desired packages
#   - Wait till every download/installation has finished
# - Go back to the terminal and continue the script by pressing any key to stop processing downloads
# - Answer the following question with yes (y) to finalize and clean up the downloaded packages
