Can't open LRC with Ventura OS

[FrCharlie]

After updating my mac to Ventura OS, Lightroom Classic won't open.  Any help?  

Thanks

Initial troubleshooting steps:

1. Ensure LR is granted Full Disk Access (not Files And Folders) permission:

2. Delete the file "metrics.json" if it exists:

3. Delete all Creative Cloud apps using the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool, then reinstall LR:

I've had the same issue as you today, after updating MacOS today (incremental update). Every attempt resulted in the spinning beach ball at launch, with no option except force quite.

I did everything - plists, reinstall Creative Cloud, manually delete preferences etc, even the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. The only additional thing I hadn't done was "metrics.json" as @johnrellis suggested. This was the step that allowed a successful launch. Finally. I hope it works for you too.

I followed your advice and it seems to have worked. I also had to restore
the sync process, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this solves the
problem. Hopefully Adobe will provide some updates for Ventura soon.

Thanks again
