Unable to export Artboards as SVG
The AI does export to SVG. I have used this constantly in the previous version, but the new version will not save the image in SVG format using the Export for Screens option.
We have the fix available in the latest release. Please update Illustrator using Adobe Creative Cloud application to the latest build for version Illustrator CC 22.1.
Please refer to our knowledge base FAQ – https://illustrator.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1844590 if you face difficulty in update.
Or get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html
Warm Regards,

Well this is very strange, I've not closed the program at all and now it's working! I didn't change any settings, I did save to the desktop for a test then tried saving them back to an external hard drive.

Red, can you please share this file with the team?
Send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com (and put the link to this report for tracking it back, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49201892)
Have you changed the SVG format settings? Can you also share a screenshot of the current ones?
Also, does changing the destination you export these to change anything? -

I cannot Export to Screens using SVG - gives an error of 'unable to export following files'. I've tried a simple shape too and that doesn't work! The only way I can do it is to 'save as' SVG and change to SVG 1.0.

I only used one device. I had 92 resources, I didn't even want to try saving them separately. it did not depend on a specific file, I tried to perform a bulk export in different files. it didn't work.

Zoida, is this issue always reproducible on your device? Is it reproducible on other devices? Is it specific to the document or the number of exported assets?

In version 28.1, svg export works. I have already managed to export svg through the latest version 28.4.1. Thank you

Ai team has been making some changes to SVG exporting pipeline.
Please help them to figure out the problem an answer these questions below.
Can you export these using a previous build or a Beta version (it can be installed from you CCD client)?
Can you export an SVG using Export Aa / Save As methods?
Can you reproduce this behavior with a brand new file?
Does it make a difference if you try to export these into a different folder and a different disk drive?
Can you share a screenshot of the setting you use to export assets? -

Illustrator 28.4.1 (64 bit) does not export SVG through the Export for Screens window. The start of svg export window appears, but nothing is saved or exported

I had the same problem, and it turned out that it was because i had everything in one masterlayer. As soon as I had a layer for each artboard, it worked

Well done, Adobe. I don't know how long this bug exists, but it's loooong... And you're wrong, it's not fixed at all. After the next couple of months and updates, I'm still not able to export assets as SVG files.
Let's say I have 20 assets I want to export. Regardless of the progress bar that shows that export has succeeded, maybe 3 of all assets will export properly. Maybe the next 5 will show up after the next 10 minutes. And the rest of them will now show up at all. It's totally unpredictable! :D
Is it really so hard for you to fix that???

I have the same issue in the 24.0 version. It exports some of the artboards, but not all of them.
