P: Photoshop 23.2.2 Can't open/update vector smart object in Illustrator

Just today, I updated to macOS Monterey and now I am having problems opening vector smart objects in Photoshop files. If Illustrator is closed, when I double click the smart object (or choose edit contents) Illustrator will launch but the file will not open.

If Illustrator is open and I try to open the smart object, I get a Mac error window that says "The application "Adobe Illustrator 2022" can't be opened" with a -1703 error code.

I'm using Photoshop 23.2.1 and Illustrator 26.0.3, which I went back to after seeing the problem first occur in 26.1.

The computer is iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch 2019 | 3.6 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 | macOS Monterey 12.3

Thanks in advance

STILL NO UPDATE - NO LONG-TERM FIX FROM ADOBE.
As per my last post we've still yet to receive any official comment back from Adobe. This process is incredibly painful. For all the users posting workarounds thank you, but as mentioned these are workarounds this is NOT a long-term solution. And for many, this process of saving to store files now in a permanent location as opposed to a temporary file location is NOT sustainable. Until this has been resolved by Adobe we'll of course continue to find short-term solutions, but please can we get some verified response from Adobe on this matter.

PLEASE UPVOTE THIS TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE PROBLEM

PHOTOSHOP AND MONTEREY SYSTEM ERROR - 1703

After the last Monterey update, using Photoshop if I try to edit (by clicking twice on it) an illustrator file (or any other program) instead of opening the program, I get this error in a system window and not in photoshop:

“Cannot open the “Adobe Illustrator 2022” application.

-1703

I emphasize that illustrator is open, but the file NO, and give me the error.

That in my opinion is not a permenant fix, it's hard and unpractical. Especially if you are working on an object in illustrator and bringing it to Photoshop without saving the file.

I get the "the application adobe illustrator 2022 can be opened -1703" message. When I want to open a smart object from Photoshop, it gives me this message and it does not open. Illustrator is working fine. I have no problem opening any .ai file or pdf file. I am using mac m1. please help me.
