Not sure if this is related but I had the same issue on a windows
machine. On export to article the file would be created but Indesign
would crash. Problem went away after I rebooted the computer.
Its not really an error message, just text that says "Cannot connect to
2016 Midland Metal Check your connection then tap to refresh". I've
tried on a variety of connections that I know are working and it still
gives this message.
