Original Issue
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I was wondering if it is possible to downgrade apps downloaded from the app store using mas. (If the older versions of the app have been downloaded/linked to the apple id)
Describe the solution you'd like
If all the app updates are linked to the apple id then maybe mas can install them using something like a install-old version command
I don't know if it would be possible though.

Research direction
Begin by reviewing the linked ipatool, ipatool-py, and Apple App Store version resources, then compare their findings with mas's existing install and update commands. Determine whether versions linked to an Apple ID can be selected, and document a working specified-version install or update flow if the platform permits it.
