Hi there, anyone else having issues just locating the app download button? I'm trying to transition from Sketch to this and I've been trying for hours at this point with no luck. I even downloaded the Windows Desktop app for CC, and am unable to find it there. Thanks for any help.

    @Adept_Sunbeam5E44 unfortunately, you need to have purchased the whole CC subscription to get it. Even though you may have upgraded your plan (not knowing if this is all of the apps), you do need to wait for the waiting period. I know sounds insane, but, I do know it takes at least 24 hours (worse case scenario, 48 hours) for XD to shop up in your applications. https://www.adobe.com/apps/all/all-platforms

    Scroll all the way down until you see Xd, but youhave to wait at least 24 hours to show up.

    I downloaded CC v5.10.0.573 today and there was no Adobe XD installer. I contacted Adobe support and received two links to Adobe XD installer (Mac, Win) and installed them. It turned out to be an older version and I couldn't open projects I have already created :|. My question to Adobe is, what is the reason for removing Adobe XD from the CC list? When will this issue be fixed? Why should I again lose money for projects that are not delivered on time?

    Hi Harshika, I've the same problem. As I see you could solve my problem sending me a direct message, hopefully with a link to download XD.

     

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi @Chun Ho29294458twub,

     

    Thank you for reaching out. We would like to confirm if you are trying to install XD for the first time. It looks like you have Individual Subscription (CC All apps).

     

    Let me check with the team and get back to you with an update.

     

    Thanks,

    Harshika

    Yes, confirmed. I was attempting to try/buy XD for the first time. I made an account yesterday for my business to possibly transition over to XD from Sketch. Thanks for your help!

    Hi @Kathi29282328ehlo & @vacquah,

     

    We are sorry for the trouble. It looks like you both have Teams and Individual subscriptions, respectively. I have escalated your IDs to the team to check the configuration at the backend. 

     

    I will keep you both posted on the update. I will try my best to help you. 

     

    Thanks,

    My advice would be to learn Figma over Adobe XD. As much I as love using it, the long term outlook for the product is not good.

    Thanks for the honesty. I'm not impressed with how difficult this has been already.
    I am moderately invested in Sketch, but needing something for team members that want to edit on Windows. I will look into Figma!

    I agree with @Chris W. Griffith and it's because Adobe announced their intent to buy Figma that they have stopped developing and promoting Adobe XD. Figma is the most powerful of these design apps with a large user base, so I'd recommend learning it.

    Hi @Kathi29282328ehlo,

     

    Thank you for reporting the issue. Could you please use your Business account to see XD? It seems like you're logged in with your personal account.

     

    Let us know if that helps.

    Oh, weird. It didn't show in a search in the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App for me either.

     

    And when I go to the Apps tab, to the Categories section on the left, it's not listed under UI and UX.

     

    I do see it, however, when I'm in the Apps tab, go to the Apps section on the left, click All Apps, and scroll through the apps.

    Thanks for the response! It's definitely not in my All apps section as you described, which is odd. I'm wondering if their could be an issue with it not showing while in the free membership, as I am now. I planned on purchasing the single app subscription as I had read online, but I'm not even sure how to do that if I can't find a Buy button.. haha. I attached a photo of my All apps view, as well as the view of what's included in my Adobe free membership. Thanks again.
