Apparently the certificate expired a few weeks ago, but not all users have discovered the issue right away, particularly since not everyone uses the same apps every day. Undeniably annoying, this certificate problem is well documented by developers and users.
Save any unsaved documents and then go to the APPLE menu and choose “Restart” to do that.įun time, right? But in all seriousness, as troubleshooting goes this is not too bad, and it’s good maintenance to update apps to the latest versions available anyway.įor those who care about the nitty gritty, this is what error 173 looks like when found in console, in this case showing with the excellent text editing app TextWrangler: If for some reason they are still crashing on attempting to launch, you’re going to have to delete the apps first, then re-download the same apps that were just deleted again from the Mac App Store. The Mac apps should be working and opening as usual now. When finished updating, relaunch the app(s) which were crashing, they should open fine now and without incident.Wait for the app updates to install on the Mac via App Store.Go to the “Updates” tab, and to fix all apps, choose “Update All” – (You can also individually update specific apps that are crashing on launch by locating them in the list and choosing “Update” on a per app basis).Open the “App Store” application by going to the Apple menu and choosing ‘App Store’.Quit all open apps that are from the Mac App Store (assuming some opened successfully in the first place).While this is undeniably annoying and surely should have been prevented by someone other than the end-user, the good news is this app crashing problem is easy to resolve, and you’ll be regaining use and access to your Mac App Store apps again in no time at all.įixing Mac App Store Apps Crashing on Launch in Mac OS X
