Since yesterday I’ve been unable to open any files in Figma. Any file I try to open gets stuck on loading, like in the screenshot attached.

These are the things I’ve tried:

  1. Quit Figma, restart Mac

  2. Uninstall Figma using brew uninstall figma, clear caches using sudo dscacheutil -flushcache and then sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder, reboot Mac in Safe Mode, reinstall Figma. It opened one file, then after restarting in normal mode no files opened again.

  3. Followed the instructions in this page, ran rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Figma/"{Desktop,DesktopProfile}

None of these steps have solved the problem.
