Thanks for getting in touch @wkuckro!
TL;DR: mas
is only able to install/update applications that are listed in the Mac App Store itself. Use softwareupdate(8)
utility for downloading system updates (including Xcode CLT).
The point of confusion is that Mac App Store provides updates not only for installed applications but also for system components such as Xcode Command Line Tools, iTunes, etc. These actually have nothing to do with MAS itself (it's just used as a nice user-friendly interface), so mas
can't deal with them.
Luckily for us, there's a built-in utility softwareupdate
which is able to list new system software updates and install them via command line interface 👌🏼
Here's an example output of softwareupdate -l
:
$ softwareupdate -l
