P: Photoshop 23.2.2 Can't open/update vector smart object in Illustrator

Community Beginner ,
Mar 14, 2022 Mar 14, 2022

Copied

Just today, I updated to macOS Monterey and now I am having problems opening vector smart objects in Photoshop files. If Illustrator is closed, when I double click the smart object (or choose edit contents) Illustrator will launch but the file will not open. 

If Illustrator is open and I try to open the smart object, I get a Mac error window that says "The application "Adobe Illustrator 2022" can't be opened" with a -1703 error code. 

I'm using Photoshop 23.2.1 and Illustrator 26.0.3, which I went back to after seeing the problem first occur in 26.1. 

The computer is iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch 2019  |  3.6 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9  |  macOS Monterey 12.3

Thanks in advance

@sudeshk82649484 Update to macOS 12.3.1 which fixes the issue. It was an Apple bug, so they had to fix it.

Notice that the error message has the Finder icon and is from Apple. Update your macOS to 12.3.1, as Apple has come up with the fix.

Buenas,

alguien puede ayudarme a solucionar este error? Ocurre al intentar abrir en Photoshop, un objeto inteligente creado en Illustrator. No sé si el fallo es por parte de Ps o de AI, pero al intentar abrirlo me sale esa ventana y no abre. He investigado qué tipo de error es y no encuentro nada al respecto. He cambiado a versiones antiguas, reinstalando, borrando preferencias, y nada de eso funciona.

 

Muchísimas gracias!Captura de Pantalla 2022-04-28 a las 11.54.50.png

I don't know if the error is due to Ps or AI, but when I try to open it I get that window and it doesn't open. I've researched what kind of error it is and can't find anything about it. I have switched to old versions, reinstalling, deleting preferences, and none of it works.
