= Solution

Apply change of variables to the orientation-preserving diffeomorphism $\psi_\varepsilon:A\to A$:
$$
\operatorname{vol}(A)=\int_A\det D\psi_\varepsilon
=(1+\varepsilon^2)^{-(n+1)/2}
\int_A\det(I+\varepsilon D\widetilde\phi).
$$
Rearranging gives
$$
\boxed{\int_A\det(I+\varepsilon D\widetilde\phi)
=\operatorname{vol}(A)(1+\varepsilon^2)^{(n+1)/2}.}
$$
