Hi all,
I'm using my new M1 Pro with the latest Mac OS 12.1 and I'm experiencing issues with installing tensorflow.
I've created an environment and have it activated.
I tried
conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps
but returned with
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.
Did anyone have the same issue and any advice to address this?
Thanks,

The same problem on my Monterey 12.1:
$ conda create --prefix ./env python=3.8
$ conda activate ./env
$ conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps

I'm having the same issue. I've been through multiple different approaches. MacAir M1, 2020, BigSur 11.6

Check for any old existing python installation. In my case it was anaconda. You can put command "which python" to check if it points to miniforge python installation, if not then delete the installation is it pointing to.
Restart the terminal and install miniforge or update it with "bash filename_miniforge -u". Check "which python", if it doesn't point to miniforge then restart terminal
You must be good to go for creating environment and next steps to install tf
On my side, I had the problem and look a little before installing manually or installing miniforge.
The thing is that conda from miniconda or anaconda looks by default on osx-64 and noarch architecture and not osx-arm64 (which is the architecture on which the package has been made).
So just parameterize your conda (in ~/.condarc for me) by adding those lines:
subdirs:
- osx-arm64
- osx-64
- noarch
If you want conda to go looking in osx-arm64 by default, change also the value of subdir and set it with osx-arm64 (same file):
subdir: osx-arm64
Hope it helps.
Hi ShamoX, could you please show me how do I add the lines into /.condarc? I can't find it anywhere in my Finder... I downloaded anaconda, miniforge, literally everything and still stuck on this problem :(
Thank you...
Hello everyone,
I was facing this exact issue when trying to run a gesture detection library. Problem was that the platform version reported by Anaconda was not the arm one, but rather 'macOS-10.16-x86_64-i386-64bit' and tensorflow-deps is only available for osx-arm64. I fixed this by doing a clean install for Anaconda (https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/uninstall/) and then followed the steps on https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/ to install Tensorflow.
Version reported after clean install: 'macOS-13.0.1-arm64-arm-64bit'
I was then able to install tensorflow-deps, tensorflow-macos & tensorflow-metal. Tensorflow implementation worked after this.
