Illustrator Beta missing from ARM64 systems

Sometime in the last couple of months the beta for Illustrator is no longer available to ARM64 devices. If you previously had it installed, it can no longer be updated and if you happen to remove it, you can't re-install it. There was zero communication about this change, so I would appreciate some insight as to when we can expect it back.

It’s been long enough. When are we going to get the official, non-Beta release of Illustrator on ARM?

Hello @863771,

Thanks for reaching out. Could you confirm the version of the OS installed on your device, your machine specs (CPU/GPU/Memory) and a screenshot of the error message when trying to install Illustrator, so I can check this with the team?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi there - I am running Windows 11 25H2 and I am using a Snapdragon X Elite with the X1-85 Adreno GPU and 32GB RAM. Keep in mind there is NO error you just can't see it in Creative Cloud Desktop any more - it's gone.

Hi @863771,

 

Thanks for confirming those details. I reached out to the product team, and they’re currently checking this. They've asked whether you're able to see the Beta apps tab in the Creative Cloud Desktop app at all, or if it's just that the Illustrator Beta build doesn't appear there. Could you please confirm that for us?

 

Looking forward to the update.
