I just installed the High Sierra developer preview (beta 2) on a partition on my Mac Pro.
Their diagnosis was my MacBook Pro was in limbo. Neither installing high sierra nor keeping my old OSX. My Macintosh HD would not mount, so they basically gave me 2 options either install high sierra and lose my data or extract my data using a data recovery third party and then reinstall OSX. Anyways I tinkered with it. Apple says they set things blocking third-party apps because they want to protect users who might install downloaded apps with malware or viruses. They take the 30% cut to cover the cost of hosting the Mac App Store and testing apps to keep malware out of the store. Tabs in apps: Borrowing an idea from Web browsers, Sierra lets you use tabs in Apple-built apps - including Maps, Mail, and Keynote - as well as supported third-party apps.
The first thing I tried to do is download the DMG for my application (VitalSource Bookshelf) and install it. It shows the 'damaged' icon above our application icon. I couldn't figure out what about my application might be damaged. When I tried to launch it from the terminal it said 'The application cannot be opened because its executable is missing.'

At first I panicked, but I couldn't find any reason for it. Run in compatibility mode xp. It opens fine on 10.12. Then I tried mounting my old Applications folder and saw that every app showed as 'damaged' and refused to open.
I tried downloading DMG installers for Chrome and Firefox and the app bundles on those DMGs are also showing the 'damaged' icon and refusing to open.
I am starting to realize there's nothing wrong with our app, that this must be some kind of High Sierra bug. Firmware updater mac app. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? Are there any known issues that might cause this or should I file a bug?
Install Mac Os Sierra
One thing I did not do is update to APFS (at least, I hope - it says it doesn't do that for HDDs). Its a partition on an old-school spinning hard disk, on a 'cheese grater' Mac Pro that runs 10.12 just fine.
