Disable Apple Store updates

I am constantly subjected to reminders to update the Apple Store. I will never use this and thus I don't want to constantly download updates (if set to automatic) or approve the downloading of updates (if set to manual).


I searched online for methods to disable these updates and messages completely, but as expected the recommendations were all out of date


Thus I would appreciate any assistance in disabling all updates and messages for the Apple Store app as well as any other updates for the apple store
