It appears that the All In One SEO is not working with this theme. I can tell by the fact that MOZ.com has not found the vast majority of Titles and Meta data for the posts nor did it submit the sitemap to be indexed like it said it did. I went to their support and they said it was because this theme does not meet Wordpress standards.
To confirm that I installed Theme Checker. This gave me the following error log. Please advise.

Not sure about All in one SEO as the theme hasn't been tested with the plugin.
Although the theme has passed through ThemeForest review process which makes wide use of ThemeCheck plugin (even though it wouldn't be necessary as the plugin is meant for themes hosted on wordpress.org, not premiums hosted on Envato)
Actually the report you posted confirms it, as no error is triggered (which are labeled as "REQUIRED:" ) but only warnings, recommended/info notices.
That said I've been looking the report out although none of the notices could be relevant to SEO issues.
Just tested Google structured data testing tool to make sure nothing has changed recently, but as you can see no error is triggered. All metas, including reviews, are passed fine.
In short what you've been told is not true, the theme respects all WP and Google standards. If they can also tell you what exactly are they referring to I'll be happy to improve the product and push an update though
