Cleared caches & prefs, logged out/in - nothing. Last update was Logic. Searches show it's happening to others as well, and a common thread seems to be Mojave 10.14.6.
Users have reported attempting to clear the cache and certificates as well as signing in and out, but to no avail. No one has reported that they have solved the problem.
Of the 31 installations running Mojave that AppleInsider has access to, only one machine and one iCloud account has the issue. The same iCloud account used on a different machine has no problems downloading, so the issue seems unrelated to an iCloud account. The issue is also not related to a recent update.
