Has anyone else had trouble enabling this menu? I've tried:

defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -boolean YES

defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -boolean true

kill $PID

I know that in previous OS you can show it but neither of those commands is working for me. Thanks!

    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -boolean YES

    This worked when I added:
    killall Finder

    Give that a whirl.

    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -boolean YES

    worked fine for me with no other commands.

    Worked for me today when I gave my team a training on @rtrouton method of downloading signed Apple pkgs.

    I would check your pplist. Perhaps it is corrupt or had bad permissions preventing you from editing.

    Yeah, it's not working on my LDAP account. The command isn't failing, permissions are fine. I tried it on another local admin account and it worked just fine. Thanks everyone!
