I try to install LR 12 on Mac OS 12.6.4 on my Mac Pro Lat 2013. I tried even 11.5 but LR refuses to open.
I tried doing the preference trash method but I do not see any Adobe plist file in preferences. I only see two Adobe files: adobegenuineservice and adobedesktopservice. I trashed the catalog file and still, nothing opens or works.
I keep getting the beach ball effect, and bouncing icon but never opens or it opens and hangs leaving my computer not able to shut down or restart. I have plenty of RAM 128GB but still nothing.
Does anyone know which version of LR works best on the OS version? LR for the life of me keeps hanging.

I tried the metric file lookup but it is not there. I restarted the machine and tried again to look for the file; nothing was inside that destination. I cannot open the program so I cannot turn off Adobe sharing which seems futile if you can't open it.

Make sure you are looking in the User Library and not the System Library. See the instructions in the post.

"I cannot open the program so I cannot turn off Adobe sharing which seems futile if you can't open it."
You can get to your account's Privacy And Personal Data page directly through a web browser:
https://account.adobe.com/privacy#
The option Share Information On How I Use Adobe Desktop Apps is the first one. (I updated the steps to use the browser method, thanks.)
However, if you don't see "metrics.json" after following the exact steps above, which include restarting your computer and copying/pasting the exact location into Finder or File Explorer, your issue may be unrelated, and disabling sharing may not have any effect.

I deleted the 12 version of Lr and installed 11.0 Created a new Lr catalog and did not upgrade or use it from the previous catalog on file, but Lr still hangs (beach ball) at the "Updating Catalog for Plug-in Data" message. Lr opens up and everything looks to be working then it hangs at that screen. It does not move forward from there after 5 minutes.
