Lightroom cloud sync issues after Mac OS update to 12.6

Question

Lightroom was working great across all devices and web.  My iMac updated to the latest version Monterey 12.6.  Thereafter lightroom on the iMac is not syncing with the cloud.  In addition, I can no longer create a new album amongst other things.  My macbook air is still running the previous version of MacOs and is working correctly.  I've done the typical restarts, turn-off / turn on.  Deleted the Lightroom app and re-installed from creative cloud, and deleted app again and installed via the Apple app store with the same result.  Hopefully Adobe is aware of the issue and it will be corrected.  Since I do the majority of my editing on my iMac, this is a deal killer if not corrected soon.

Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'd love to help you figure this out.

Try these suggestions if the issues with Lightroom started since a recent update.

Ensure Lightroom has the required permissions on macOS: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-give-full-disk-access-to-lightroom-classic-on-macos/td-p/12913413
Log on to Lightroom Web (https://lightroom.adobe.com) & ensure everything is synced & backed up before you proceed further.
In the Finder window, choose Go > Go To Folder and type ~/pictures. Locate a bundle named Lightroom Library.lrlibrary.
Right-click or control-click this bundle and choose Show Package Contents. You'll find a folder inside it with a long cryptic string of numbers and letters (for example: d1a4f88d2b534c7d91022136fd182532). Open that folder.
In the folder, delete all the files named Managed Catalog.[anything]. Also, delete the Previews.db file.
Launch Lightroom.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
