Hi I can not use illustrator on my iPad any more! It opens with message 'check network connection and try again'- the network is connected and working well- its a strong wifi too- the iPad has been updated to the latest IOS 16.6.1, I have deleted and re downloaded the app so it is definitely up to date, I have restarted the iPad, logged out and in (many times) and it is still showing the same message and i am unable to open new or old pages! Any advice on how to fix this error much appreciated, Thanks!

I am currently also having this issue. I have deleted and redownloaded the app with no success. It is not an issue with my internet or any other adobe apps, only illustrator

Hello @katiana_777,

Sorry to hear you're having similar trouble with Illustrator. Could you share more details, like the iPad model, the version of iPadOS/Illustrator installed, and a small screen recording of the problem, so I can check this with the team?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I'm having the same issues. I can't upload a screen recording because the file is too large. 

I log in with my student profile and it fetches my subscription details. It then jumps to the screen in the attached image. Has a loading wheel and then just says no Internet connection. I've tried WiFi and my phones hot spot. Nothing works. 

iPad is 9th addition with most up to date OS. I just downloaded illustrator last night, so I'm assuming it's the most up to date version. 

any help would be great.
