For Mac/OSX users experiencing damaged archieve error
There's been a raising number of reports for some time that recent mac version experience difficulties launching complaining about damaged archieve. This seems to be caused by OSX system itself as a mean to prevent 3rd party apps. On of the reported solutions I've found seems to be this

Or: Open Terminal and run:
<code>sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Coherence\ strive.app</code><code>(replace path depending on your app location)</code>
I'm sorry for the inconenience as I'm not able to test mac versions personally.

Was still a bit confused as to what I needed to do to fix this. So for all the other rocks out there like me, here is a 2 min video that explains exactly what to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fqzb4qpgcs
I've had this Mac version issue for awhile, and this fixed it. I've seen two different Terminal commands suggested, xattr -rd and xattr -cr. Just open a Finder window where the Strive app is, open Terminal, type one of the commands, then drag the app into the Terminal window, which will automatically input its location. You'll probably have to do it with every new download, but it solved my problem.
Another casualty of Apple. Twice the price for half the product.
Another thing that might work is to use a third-party unarchiver, I find it's usually just the default archive utility that does this.
