“BBEdit.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. Delete “BBEdit.app” and download it again from the App

[Cael Chappell]

Hi, I have 10.5.11 running on a MBPro 3 Ghz i7 with 8GB RAM. I'm getting this message every time I try to launch BBEdit: 

“BBEdit.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. Delete “BBEdit.app” and download it again from the App Store.

I have deleted and downloaded a new copy and still having the same issue. 

Anyone seen this before or know a fix? 

Thanks, Cael.

I suggest you restart your Mac at the next convenient
opportunity, then try this:

Fully delete the existing BBEdit app by moving it to the
Finder's Trash, and emptying the Trash.

Next, open the App Store app and reinstall BBEdit.

Finally, launch BBEdit and if it opens normally, you should be
all set; if not, please contact Apple support for assistance,
since something's likely amiss with the App Store on your Mac.


(PS: You're also welcome to contact our support team via email
to <sup...@barebones.com> though our ability to troubleshoot
App Store install issues is fairly limited.)

Howdy,

Are you trying to install BBEdit 10.x.x on a system using OS 10.5.11 or installing BBEdit 10.5.11 on OS X 10.?.?? BBEdit 10 is for 10.6.8 and later (10.7 preferred).

Good Luck,
