Summary

  • Replace mas install with mas get in MacAppStoreInstaller
  • mas install only re-downloads previously acquired apps, failing on fresh Apple Accounts with "Redownload Unavailable"
  • mas get works for both initial installs and re-downloads with no known downsides

Fixes #21559

`mas install` only re-downloads previously acquired apps, failing on
fresh Apple Accounts with "Redownload Unavailable". `mas get` works
for both initial installs and re-downloads with no known downsides.

Fixes Homebrew#21559
