iOS Numbers error on opening spreadsheet “Couldn’t communicate with a helper application”

Hi,


I’ve received the following error message when trying to open Numbers every time. I’ve tried opening different templates and it doesn’t work. I’ve tried restarting my device and it doesn’t work. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling and it doesn’t work. I have iCloud sync on.


Thanks in advance.


iPad mini 4, iOS 12

Good morning Noneedthx!


I see that you're having trouble opening files for Numbers on your iPad because of this error message that you're receiving.


Is the iPad updated to the most recent version available for it? If not, do that now: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If updating doesn't resolve the issue, Contact Apple Support directly for further help.


Take care.
