Mojave OS app link broken

When I try to download Mojave OS from the app store, I get an error message stating the app is damaged and cannot be used to install Mojave. Will this be fixed soon?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

If you are having an issue with downloading successfully, reboot into safe boot and try again your download.


SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login


You can run the installer from Safeboot as well, typically the installer will be sitting in your Applications folder:

"Install macOS Mojave.app"


Reboot as normal.
