App Store apps can't be opened after upgrading macOS 10.12 to 10.13

Solution 1:

Ok, I got so sick of it that I decided to reinstall my OS. I even formatted the HD, and I did not restore from any backup. While at it, I moved to 10.14.6.

When that installation was freshly done, the first thing I did was security updates and a reboot.

After that I wen't to the App Store and tried to install the app again. The error from yesterday was gone but to my surprise I got the following error:

Then I followed all the steps here except the Upgrade to macOS Catalina:

1. Check Network Connectivity
2. Verify Apple ID in App Store & iTunes
3. Accept iTunes New Terms & Conditions
4. Clear App Store Cookies and Cached Files
5. Clear App Store Temporary Files
6. -U-p-g-r-a-d-e- -t-o- -m-a-c-O-S- -C-a-t-a-l-i-n-a-
7. Get Support from Apple

When I was on the phone, I clicked to get the same error as in the picture to make sure I didn't confuse it with yesterday error's message. And yes I still got the error. Later in the conversation he asked me to try another app, which I had done before. But magically it worked now, and suddenly all worked.

So yeah, I recommend people to call Apple, and let them do whatever it is they are doing to fix this problem.
