SOLVED: Image Playground Stuck on Downloading on M1 Mac with OS 15.2

Update: Never mind. It is now working. It just took about 25 minutes to download the program, which is much longer than it took on the iPad. I’m leaving this post up as others may encounter a similar delay.


I was able to download Image Playground on my iPad within just a few minutes. However, Image Playground is stuck on the download screen on my M1 MBP. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and do you know a solution? I’ve closed and reopened the app. I’ve rebooted the MBP, but so far, I can’t fix the problem.

It doesn’t seem to be running:

The images I created using IP on the iPad show up in IP on the MBP, but if I click the + button, I only get the screen above.
