Latest Mountain Lion update brings iOS-like automatic downloads for apps


In the new version of OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview 3, Apple has enabled an iOS feature called "Automatic App Downloads" in the App Store. Like on the iPhone and iPad, when you buy an app one of your Macs, all of your other Macs logged on to the same App Store account will automatically install the app too. It's kinda like 'Photo Stream'... Just without the photos.

9to5mac reported that at this point in-time, the feature does not seem to be working completely.

"While the App Store will still offer to enable automatic downloads, it does not actually install anything when you purchase apps from another computer. However, it does apparently show the app as being installed when you view it in the App Store."

There is a good chance that Apple will fix this issue in the next developer preview or they may even update this developer preview.
