Error When Importing TensorFlow on Mac M1 Pro. MacOs version 13.0. Python 3.10

Question

**Things I did / run: **

• Downloaded MiniConda
• Created Virtual env
• Inside env, installed ipykernel
• created new kernel for use in jupyter

**TensorFlow Installation following: https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/ **

1. conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps
2. python -m pip install tensorflow-macos
3. python -m pip install tensorflow-metal

• Then I created a jupyter lab notebook, selected previously created kernel, and did: import tensorflow as tf, and it gave this error:

NotFoundError                             Traceback (most recent call last)

**THINGS I HAVE TRIED: **

Tried what was instructed here - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/702851

Also here:

Installing Tensorflow in M1 Mac

Tensorflow on M1

What is the proper way to install TensorFlow on Apple M1 in 2022

Re-installed Miniconda and created everything again. Made sure that TensorFlow deps and TensorFlow macos were both in latest version, then re-tried with both in 2.9.0 version.

• Also tried deleting miniconda completely, and trying everything with miniforge instead, but ran into the same problem.

Overall, I look at all available stack overflow's relevant questions regarding problems with TensorFlow and Mac M1s, but solutions did not solve my requirements and problems.

THINGS I DON´T WANT TO DO:

• Use Miniforge
• Not install tensorflow deps
• Use mamba

I have no idea at this point, I've been trying to make it work for quite a few hours.

I'd appreciate some help!
