These are instructions on how to enable the Mac App Store’s hidden debug menu.

Step 1:

Launch Terminal from your Applications -> Utilities folder.

Step 2:

Input the following command:

defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true

Step 3:

Launch the Mac App Store from your dock.

Step 4:

You can now see the debug option which wasn’t previously here.

Click Show Debug Panel… from the Debu Menu to see more hidden debug features.

Step 5:

To remove the Debug menu simply return to terminal and input:

defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool false

That’s it, you are done! The menu is quite interesting as it allows you to play around with a bunch of hidden settings such as shadows and width in the App Store’s webview, the animations and duration of “flying icons” (when you download an app and it goes straight to the Dock). You can also enable and disable the Purchase Check, although we wouldn’t really recommend to tweak these default settings — you don’t want to break the Mac App Store app. We think this Debug menu will be removed in a future update, as Apple doesn’t want users to modify, or even see, this stuff. Still, you can check it out for now.
