I recently upgraded to AI 2023. I thought I had used it since I upgraded but I might be wrong. I have not had this issue with prior versions. The problem appears to be AI specific: I can open my other CC programs like PS 2023.
I am on a 2019 iMac running OS Ventura 13.0. The computer has a 3.6 GHZ 8-Core Intel Core i9, a Radeon Pro 580X 8 GB, and 128 GB 2667 MHz DDR4.
I have tried restarting, reinstalling AI, running cleanup utilities - nothing is working so far. The only step I have not taken is unistalling and reinstalling Creative Cloud. Besides using third party brushes, I'm not aware of any weird plug-ins that could be causing a conflict.
I solved the issue, whatever it was.
I uninstalled and reinstalled CC. That seemed to make no difference. So I downloaded the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, ran that, selected Illustrator and "cleaned" it. Once I reinstalled Illustrator after that, it launched without issue. If I'm not imagining things, it even launched more quickly than usual.

Having the same issue and cleaned Illustrator and then CC and still having the issue. Not sure what to do at this point. Wait for an update, I guess.

Hello @Jonathan5E2C,
Sorry to hear about this experience. Would you mind trying the following steps in order and checking if it helps:
If the issue persists, kindly try the following steps to completely remove and reinstall the Creative Cloud applications and share your observations:
Note: Location starting with this "~" sign indicates the User Library, which is hidden. So, you need to copy & paste the exact path in spotlight search or from Finder Menu > Go > Go to Folder > Paste the location in the dialog box like this:
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,

Thank you for the detailed procedure. I performed all steps listed above and after a creative cloud reinstall with Illustrator being the first application to download and install it still crashes and is unable to open at all.

Here's the top of the crash report. I have the whole report saved if it would be helpful. All other CC applications work as expected.

Hello @Jonathan5E2C,
Thanks for confirming that. Would you mind trying to run Illustrator under the root user account and checking if it helps?
