From time to time, customers contact us about certain error messages they see when downloading our apps via the Mac App Store. Such error messages include “OmniFocus.app is damaged and can’t be opened. Delete OmniFocus.app and download it again from the App Store” or “This application can’t be verified.”
If you see a message that the app can’t be opened because it’s from an unidentified developer or wasn’t downloaded from the Mac App Store, you can open the app by overriding the settings in Security & Privacy preferences. Sometimes a download is incomplete because the file was damaged. Try downloading it again. I want to download apps in the Mac App Store and the apps won't start to download.

We’re always happy to assist as much as possible, but it’s important to understand that Mac App Store purchases and downloads are controlled exclusively by Apple. This means that we cannot directly fix or repair the damaged files which are causing these error messages.
With that said, here are some steps we’ve found that can help work around these error messages. We recommend you carry them out in the order we’ve posted them here.
If this doesn’t help, we’ve also heard reports that this issue can be solved by temporarily creating a new administrator user account on your Mac. Log into that administrator account to install the app, then switch back to your primary account to use it. You can remove the temporary account once that’s sorted out!
