Cannot open a certain .aic file in Illustrator

[Evan.Pienta]

I had recently worked on (4 days ago) a specific file on Illustrator but have not touched since. It was before the new update and now when I go to open the file, either from the creative cloud or Illustrator itself, It doesn't respond. When it doesn't respond, the program doesn't freeze up, and I don't get a pop up message. The other thing is a project I had worked on about a month ago I can open, so it is only a problem with one specific file. I've looked through the fourm and seen similar porblems, but nothing exactly like mine. I should mention I am on Windows 10. If I can get any help on how I can open this file it would be greatly appreciated.

This issue is fixed in AI 25.1 update available in Creative Cloud Desktop

Rama_ai's answer doesn't work, there's still a bug. 

1. Quick export the file as AI from the iPad
2. Share via Airdrop or other means to get it to your Mac
3. Open and save it from the Mac

For me, it worked to close Illustrator and open the file via the Creative Cloud app.
It will automatically open the file in Illustrator then.
