Affinity Photo 1.8.6 Will Not Open

[Roel777]

Just updated to Big Sur and now the App Store auto-updated Affinity Photo 1.8.6 will not open. Have rebooted twice.

I also have the updated Publisher and Designer. Both open fine.

I'm running on an iMac 27" -  2019.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Roel777,

Welcome to the forums

What happens when you try to open the apps do you get any error messages?

Thanks

Hi Callum,

No error message, the icon in the dock just bounces for a while and stops without anything more happening.

I've tried starting from the dock, from the app in the Applications folder and by right clicking a photo I want to open. Same results.

Hi Roel, please could you try uninstalling and reinstalling the apps as they should be opening fine.

Trashed it and re-downloaded and works fine now.

Thanks Callum!
