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

For all those of you that are still facing this issue, I suggest trying the solution in this doc Adobe XD crashes, unstable, or displays rendering artifacts in macOS 10.14.4

If that did not help, please send me your Adobe ID, location, and phone number using a private message along with the URL of this post. To send a private message, click my picture and use the Message button. We will get in touch with you for assistance.

Thanks,

Hi Shannon,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. Could you please share a few more details like:

 

  1. The version of XD and OS.
  2. Is it crashing on a specific file or multiple files?
  3. Does it crash while performing a specific task or it crashes randomly?
  4. Is it happening while working on a local file or cloud file or both?

 

We're here to help, just need more information.

 

Regards

Rishabh

Hello,
I've had a problem with Adobe XD for some time (probably few days). It doesn't want to run at all. There are two options how it behaves:
1. it doesn't start at all but displays an error report
2. it starts, but display loading symbol all the time and doesn't react to anything

 

What I've tried so far is:
1. Reinstallation XD
2. Uninstallation with all my personal settings and installed completely fresh XD
3. Complete uninstallation of Creative Cloud and all related programs like Illustrator and Photoshop
4. Cleaning Adobe hosts files
5. Installation of a previous version of Adobe XD

After dozens of attempts, still no result. On my mac book air everything works okay, when for more demanding tasks I switch to mac book pro, Adobe completely does not start. It is worth mentioning, that programs like Photoshop or Illustrator worked perfectly.

 

I'm throwing a screen of my setup:

Zrzut ekranu 2020-03-6 o 15.07.28.png

 

I am completely cut off from work and don't know what to do next. Now I tried to get at least a bug report, but I can't. I don't think it's my system's fault, because it was formatted about 3 weeks ago and all the other programs work perfectly.

I'm very sorry, but I didn't get any sensible help. The instructions I received are for Windows. Could I have the relevant instructions for macos?

 

I've been trying to solve the problem on my own all weekend. What I got was:
I uninstalled everything related to Adobe from my computer, including deleting all settings files, caches, etc. Then I reinstalled everything freshly. The program is very slow, but it starts up (it takes a few minutes), but after opening any file, every operation like changing the background requires a long loading:

 

My hardware setup is:

  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
  • 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor
  • 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
  • Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
  • SSD 512

 

It's not a rocket anymore, but it seems to me that no sensible software should run as slowly on this computer as Adobe XD does. I've done all the appropriate tests and I don't have any hardware problem.

I would also request you to please share the Adobe ID, Phone number and location with me over a private message so that I can escalate the issue to the team.

I am experiencing the same problem; Adobe XD starts, but displays loading symbol and is not able to load any of my Cloud files.

 

I believe I have narrowed the issue down to occuring when the Macbook Pro resumes from sleep. I haven't been able to consistently fix the issue: sometimes I have had luck when rebooting the machine, sometimes logging out and logging back in to CC, and I've even performed a repair of CC. It is unbelievably frustrating!

 

The remainder of CC apps work fine, but most of my workflow is in XD these days.

Hello I have a similar issue. Adobe XD starts to launch, but stops before it is done. I attach a screenshot here. It just sits like this forever, and nothing happens. When I try to quit, it won't quit, so I have to force quit. I have also unsuccessfully tried to open files directly.

I have tried:

- reinstalling Adobe XD

- reinstalling a previous version

 

Please help asap!!!!

Thank you
