Completely unrelated to 10.8.5/10.9; that was a red herring.
The issue is simply that the multilingual version did not get code signed properly and was not noticed by beta testers because they had already passed GateKeeper with the EN version that is used for beta (GateKeeper only checks the first time). I don’t know all the details as I don’t do the builds, but rest assured we’ve added a step to verify this for future release builds!

Thanks again Paul.
No worries. It’s just another day in the life of developing and distributing software.
Gatekeeper - as my friend in Bristol said - “turned that bollux off immediately the first time it popped up. There goes Apple messing with the elegant simplicity of the Mac … again!”
I will save the Mac experience for tomorrow. Still it compiles my main app, did a scary long pause before saving it and showed ‘Application Not Responding’ for a brief moment- but at a glance it seems to work ok.
Just in case this is important…
Once I tried to download a dmg file that somehow got corrupted.
Being insane I deleted the dmg and redownloaded again.
Same issue.
After several attempts I decided to use secure empty trash to delete the dmg file for sure.
Download again, presto, it worked.
I just downloaded the default for Mac to a brand new installation of Mavericks DP8 and got the corrupted message. There has never been a Xojo (or RS) download on this system previously.
Due low connection here @home I do not download the updated multilangual. But I’ve found a workaround:
As Paul mentioned I’ve disabled Gatekeeper, started Xojo and it worked. After that I enabled Gatekeeper again.
Just downloaded and installed R3 on my Mac using the update feature. The weird part was the update would only download as long as the mouse was moving or responding to events. I first thought it was a slow download link, then I realised it was only downloading while the mouse was in use. So I had to keep the mouse moving for the whole download. The update installed and licensed correctly.
