App Store Badge Falsely Reporting Updates?

I have my settings configured to automatically install updates from the App Store when they become available. The App icon in the dock shows that I have 2 updates available but since I automatically update the apps, I don't believe I should see the notifications.


If I run the following in terminal...


defaults read com.apple.appstore


...I get the following...


{

ASAcknowledgedOnboardingVersion = 2;

AutoPlayVideoSetting = on;

"JE.MediaAPIToken" = {length = 272, bytes = 0x7b22746f 6b656e53 74

72696e 67223a22 ... 32353932 3030307d };

"MetricsSamplingLotteryWindowStart_pageRender" = "607076768.782927

";

"NSWindow Frame AppStoreMainWindow" = "693 496 1180 724 0 0 2560 1

417 ";

UserSetAutoPlayVideoSetting = 0;

appStoreBadgeCount = 0;

"com.apple.AppStore.WebKit2DeveloperExtrasEnabled" = 1;

"com.apple.AppStore.WebKit2RestrictedHTTPResponseAccess" = 0;

"com.apple.AppStore.WebKit2ShowsToolTipOverTruncatedText" = 1;

"com.apple.AppStore.WebKit2SuppressesIncrementalRendering" = 1;

"com.apple.AppStore.WebKit2UserInterfaceDirectionPolicy" = 1;

kAOSUIProfilePictureCropRect = "{{0, 90}, {422, 422}}";

lastBootstrapDate = "610112258.366485";

lastBootstrapTimeZone = "America/New_York";

mostRecentTabIdentifier = updates;

}


The app store badge count reads 0 (appStoreBadgeCount = 0;) however, the app icon in the dock shows 2.



Can someone tell me if this is a bug or expected behavior?


I am running Mac OS 10.15.5 Beta (19F72f) on a 2017 MBP.


Thank you.

Same behavior here. I don't know if it's a bug or not, but you should report it to Apple if you feel it's a bug. Maybe it's a way how to inform you about installed updates. Dunno.
