Not sure if this directly helps you, but I was getting errors following Apple's guide. I don't actually recall the steps I took to get here (with TF 2.5 and Metal support for GPU), but I made this to share the environment. Please let me know on the repo if it doesn't work! (or does!) https://github.com/ctrahey/m1-tensorflow-config

During install, or during use? I got this error during use when I was trying to use numpy in a map function on my dataset. I got past it by converting to the equivalent logic with tf functions.

In case it helps anyone, I just made this repo to share out a Conda environment where I worked past this same issue. It has 2.5 with GPU support via the Metal plugin. Please comment with your results, especially if it doesn't work.
