I just updated illustrator beta and it wont open and it says its damaged. So I uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch and got the same thing. MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1
Me too! Tried downloading and opening v30 and v29.9 a number of times but each time they are reported by my Macbook Pro to be "broken and cannot be opened" (M1 Max, Sequoia 15.6.1)
pretty sure thats what i did the first time and didnt have to delete the folder because it disappears on its own and that didnt work the first time. The file is damaged plain and simple. unless adobe finally reuploaded a version that isnt damaged any more?
Has anyone had luck fixing this? I've had the same issues for weeks now. It was working fine until I updated the app to to v30 and I get the same error message as above. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both v30 and v29.9, restarted my iMac, used the Adobe Cleaner Tool to uninstall and nothing is working whatsoever.

@Smriti Capoor still having issue. I should be able to open it natively without any workarounds. And that is not the case. Can you guys fix this please?
