macOS App Store, Apple Pay and the missing buttons

Jul 1, 2026

#macos#aerospace

For the past few weeks i’ve been frustrated by a minor issue I couldn’t track down. If I attempted to purchase an app on the Apple App Store, or buy anything via Apple Pay in Safari, I ended up with a box to pay that had no buttons to actually continue. At first I thought it was another glorious Apple failure in macOS, but instead its me who is causing the issue.

I’m a big user of Aerospace and JankyBorders, as it turns out JankyBorders is interferring with the purchase windows and it sounds like its not just JankyBorders causing this issue, but numerous other applications.

To resolve the issue for JankyBorders, add the blacklist="Safari,App Store" snippet into your commandline or your bordersrc

#!/bin/bash

options=(
    active_color=0xffe1e3e4
    inactive_color=0xff494d64
    width=4
    hidpi=on
    order=above
    blacklist="Safari,App Store"
)

borders "${options[@]}"
