Unable to launch Adobe XD on macOS.

Hi there,

 

I haven't opened Adobe XD in a while but tried to yesterday and today and have yet been unable to. The icon will bounce a few times then remain stuck in a "not responding" state (See attached screenshot). I'm wondering if I had too many files open or something? Maybe my mac can't load everything into memory that was open? I tried uninstalling, but it didn't help. I'm running MacOS 10.15.3. XD is version 28.4.12.3.

 

Any ideas? Wondering if I can somehow drop all the files that XD has open somehow?

 

EDIT: After letting it run for a while in that not responding state, it finally crashed. I added a screen cap of the crash report.

It might be related to Adobe's user license authentication, but also auxilliairy user dependent stuff.

Since you mentioned that Sketch is also having problems, the one thing they both share are fonts. 

Are you using some font management tool ?

Could you disable all user activated fonts ?

To be sure, sign out in the Adobe CC panel.

Restart Mac, sign into Adobe CC, open XD.

Hi there,

 

Please ensure you are using the latest version of Adobe XD. If you need help with updating the app, see- Update apps to the latest release of Adobe Creative Cloud.

 

If you have the latest update, or if updating did not solve the issue, try the following solutions in the order in which they are listed:

 

  1. Perform a clean install:
    • Uninstall XD using the Adobe Cleaner Tool and re-install the application. Open XD to see if the issue has been resolved.
  2. Boot your computer in the safe

Thanks for your patience. Could you please update XD to the latest version which is 36.1 and let us know if helps? If it still crashes then we'll need the crash dump, please follow the steps shared here: https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/kb/how-to-generate-crash-dump-on-windows-machine.html to enable the crash dump, and once the application crashes, please collect the logs from the location shared in the article. We'll also need the system logs(https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html) again since XD has been updated.

I understand these are too many troubleshooting steps however these informations will help us triage the issue.

Hello,

 

I just downloaded the latest update from Creative Cloud (version 5.4.5.550) and Adobe XD (version 40.0.22.12) to my Macbook Pro (macOS Big Sur).

 

As soon as I open the XD app, the app closes instantly and this page opens

 

What I need to do ?

 

Thank you
