we have been selling our applications "Merlin Project" and "Merlin Project Express" for years through the Mac App Store. Starting with a recent update (Version 6.4.2) some customers are reporting, that they cannot start the app anymore after downloading it from the App Store. The majority (thousands) of our customers do not have any problem.
macOS is reporting to them the following error:
"Merlin Project is damaged, remove it and download again from App Store."
The affected customers are starting to leave one-star reviews in the app store, so this is starting to get out of hand. Sadly, we currently do not have any idea how to fix the problem for these customers.
Does anybody have an idea what could suddenly be going wrong with the installation from the Mac App store?
Thanks and cheers
