Below is the crash report. Does anyone know a fix to this?

I got the same crash at opening on my iMac M1, after updating to the latest 14.0 OS of Apple. And updated the latest versions of Lightroom. Lightroom Classic didn't want to start, it was an immediate crash. After reading, I attempted the proposed solution and it worked, with patience.
-Remove Classic by the Creative Cloud tool. I waited 5 minutes and closed the computer (not a restart) for a few minutes.

-After the start of the computer, I went back to CC to reinstall the latest Lightroom Classic. I waited at least 5 minutes after the completed installation process, and closed my computer again for a few minutes - not a retart, really closing.

-2nd start, I went back to CC and opened the latest version without issues.
Maybe the waiting was not so necessary all the time (specially when closing the computer), but something in there did work.

My issue is now : how to move to Ligthroom, as my updating from Classic option is greyed out. Another topic.

Hope you will get your fix.

Same here. MacBook Pro Ventura 13.5.2. Updated Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Cloud last night. Now Lightroom Classic immediately quits when I try to open it!! PS and Lightroom cloud still working.

Lightroom Classic v13 was crashing instantly on Mac. The advice to uninstall Lightroom Classic v13, restart, install Lightroom Classic v13.0.1, restart, worked on Mac Sonoma 14.0

I did that but it still didn't work so I went to other versions and I installed Lightroom Classic 13.0 then after that it worked fine so I disabled autoupdate for Lightroom Classic until the issue gets resolved.

@thyro open Creative Cloud, then go to APPS and then on Lighroom Classic you have 3 dots icon after OPEN. Click on the 3 dots and on the menu select OTHER VERSIONS.

I'm having the same issue, not able to open the app after getting the latest updates today... two updates one day... which was unusual.

@marcello_cruz Sorry about that. I kinda wondered about that. I've been on photo forums since 2005 and I have seen all types of unusual posts. Some from me 🙂
