AppStore delivering corrupt updates

Marco Arment reports a serious problem in the AppStore: corrupt updates crashing every time at launch, affecting many recently-updated apps: "If you’re a developer, and you have a non-critical update pending release, I suggest waiting a few days for this to presumably get sorted out before releasing it."

  It actually could have nothing to do with DRM. The file itself could be corrupt and FairPlay integrity verification fails.

The update is not the problem. The user is holding it wrong. Apple does NOT make mistakes.
