@reneritchie I *think* that conflates two issues. "App is damaged" happens before launch, receipt verification is up to the app. // @mjtsai

@siegel @mjtsai There were two issues: failure to clear cache and SHA-2 not being supported, far as I know.

@reneritchie @mjtsai Sure. But SHA-2 non-support wouldn't cause the "app is damaged" error, AFAIK.

@siegel @reneritchie @mjtsai receipt validation failure would cause an app to exit with code -173, which should cause that error message.

@tapbot_paul I believe exit(173) triggers store signin, but that's after launch too, right? // @reneritchie @mjtsai

@siegel @tapbot_paul @reneritchie That was my understanding. I thought when you get App Damaged it doesn't even run your code.
