Lots of weirdness in the App Store:

-my Purchase section shows no purchases
-Update section alternates between Update and Open buttons for apps that need updating
-Update progress circles just spin instead of slowly filling in, even though the apps are actually updating
-Apps that I've bought in the past are not showing the cloud icon to redownload, instead they are showing either Get or the price to purchase

Others experiencing these issues?
 
Also tried logging out of the App Store and then back in again...still not working.

I'm wondering about buying a 99 cent app that I know I've already bought before and seeing if I get the message that the app has already been bought and so will be re-downloaded at no cost, etc.
[doublepost=1529601469][/doublepost]So I "rebought" an app I know I had already paid for and, luckily, it recognizes that and doesn't try to charge me again. So, this point, it's just a beta annoyance I guess.
 
Really surprised no one else is reporting this bug.

Weird thing is that my wife and kids can pull up my previous purchases (iCloud Family Sharing), though they are all on 11.4

Try erasing and setting up the device again. Upgrading with the OTA patches from beta to beta often creates a lot of isolated issues. iOS 11 betas caused iBooks to be completely non-functional for me on a single device, though no-one else had these issues that I could see and wasn't until one of the later iOS 11.0.x releases that the issue finally resolved itself.

Thanks, I'm hoping to avoid doing that if possible. Will probably wait it out for a few more beta releases and see what happens.

Also trying to avoid this as someone else in the main dev beta 3 bugs thread posted that (s)he tried that with no luck.
 
Also have these same issues. I hope it’s fixed in the next PB. Some other issues here and there but as a heavy App Store user this is the most annoying.

Be sure you send feedback to Apple, the more they know about this, the quicker they will act (hopefully).

By the way, someone in the iMore forums is having the same problem.

LOL. It was you! Just responded to you over on the iMore forum about this issue myself where I had posted.

Yes, I’ll be sure to report it.
 
That's too funny, but sad at the same time since that's one less person having this problem :-(
 
This has to be on Apple's end. Mine was not working for days. I tried all the items in this thread like logging in and out then re enrolling in beta after removing. Nothing fixed it then this morning everything started working again normally. I did submit a ticket to apple a few days ago.
 
I've submitted several feedbacks from each beta that I've had this problem. I even received a reply from Apple for two of the feedbacks asking if it was fixed. It was not and so I responded back to them to let them know.

I submitted additional feedback after dev beta 5 dropped and my problem was still there.

Maybe there was something magical you did to get your functionality back!
 
I think something is timing out on their end. It seems to be trying to load the purchase history then fails. Probably as simple as them changing a time parameter.
