No one here will read or understand this code. Report it to Adobe, not here.

Try to trash preferences - there is a pinned thread how to do it.

Are you just trying to open InDesign or clicking on an InDesign file that is then causing the launch of InDesign? The file may be a cause of the crash so try trashing the preferences as well as the recovery data and then try opening just InDesign to verify if the file is indeed the problem

Another thing could be a faulty third party plugin/extension. So if you have any installed remove them and then try

I've deleted the crash report. It's less than useless and messes up the browser view of this discussion.

If you feel compelled to do this again, please copy it to pastebin.com and provide a link here.

Thanks!

Anybody in this thread who has ever got a feedback from Adobe?

This feature is useless! And v18/2023 one of the buggiest versions ever!

Sorry ...

I was not able to load my document, ID crashes each time, e.g. after deleting cache or preferences.

I created the document new 😞

Hello @HARSHIKA_VERMA 

I am having the same problem: crashes on launch on a mac Catalina 10.15.7. I've unistalled and reinstalled and it still crashes.
