Description

Hi, I stumbled on this issue, while using mas directly mas upgrade, I see a popup "The network connection was lost".
However clicking the retry button don't fix the issue. It seems to happen for all apps that are tried to be downloaded, and I have to cancel for each.

The app store does not list these updates though. But iterating each app on the app store, the update button is there. I updated all of these, however mas still lists XCode. On the App Store, it is indicated that XCode 12.5 requires Big Sur and my current XCode version is 12.4, could it be related to this ?

MacOS Catalina (10.15.7)
mas version : 1.8.2
I am signed in my account in the App Store app.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the reported behavior through mas upgrade on the stated macOS setup, then trace the update flow; done means a failed app update cancels subsequent app updates instead of requiring each one to be canceled manually.
