The document “xxx” could not be opened.

Using Mac OS Catalina 10.5.1 & Numbers version 6.2 (6520)


I'm unable to open any existing numbers files.


On my iPhone 6s running iOS 13.1.3 the numbers files open


Is there a solution to this problem?

Same deal here: It’s in iCloud. Opens fine on iOS. macOS is like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “cannot be opened”, and that’s that. I can’t find any solutions either.


I thought, perhaps it’s an issue since this was a newer file very recently created in Numbers on macOS, but macOS Numbers refuses to open any of my iCloud files apparently. Fingers crossed for an update, I guess.
