Feeling a bit fuzzy on where your favorite Splasm app came from? There’s an easy way to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, get the application’s build number<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The build number<\/strong> is the bit at the end, between the parentheses<\/strong>. That’s 864<\/strong>, in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, is the build number even or odd?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Splasm Store<\/strong> releases have an even build number. Mac App Store<\/strong> releases have an odd build number. That’s all there is to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might say,<\/strong> “I’m pretty sure I ordered from the Mac App Store. Why do I have a Splasm Store build?”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Odds are you installed a Splasm Store build some time back, even as far back as the great Mac App Store debacle of 2015<\/a>, and just followed its update instructions ever since. No worries, though. As long as you can still sign in with the same Apple ID used for your purchase, you can get back to updating on the Mac App Store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There, now you’re back on track!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a very few cases,<\/strong> you might instead say, “I got my copy from the Splasm Store but the update notification sent me to the Mac App Store update steps.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our applications can usually tell when you originally purchased from the Mac App Store, so they’ll send you to the Mac App Store update page to get you back on track there, where updates are a bit easier or even automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That should tell where your copy came from and explain a couple of special situations. If you have any questions, though, reach out<\/a> and we’ll be happy to help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Feeling a bit fuzzy on where your favorite Splasm app came from?
