Can't Install TF on Apple M1

[mabidou]

Issue Creation
On trying to install TF 2.3 using pip install tensorflow==2.3 from the terminal, I got a success message.
I could see tensorflow 2.3 in the list of installed packages by using either conda list or pip list

When I run python from the terminal and trying to import tensorflow, it returns this error message:

(tfenv) mgd@MGD-m1 ~ % conda list tensorflow
# packages in environment at /Users/mgd/opt/anaconda3/envs/tfenv:

on uninstalling it and trying to installing again using:
pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-2.3.0-cp38-cp38-macosx_10_14_x86_64.whl
same issue

Same scenario on trying latest version. i.e. by using just pip install tensorflow to get 2.3.1

On trying to import it from Jupyter Lab, no error message is shown and also no interaction is happening. It's as if it's empty cell.

System information

• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): macOS Big Sur 11.0.1
• TensorFlow installed from (source or binary):
• TensorFlow version: 2.3.1
• Python version: 3.8.5

@mabidou,
Could you please try installing TensorFlow as per this guide from Apple and let us know if it helps.

Also, please go through issue #44751 for more information. Thanks!

I have tried mentioned link that has created a new env and also installed mac version that is not possible to import.

Here are more details. After installation, I got

TensorFlow and TensorFlow Addons with ML Compute for macOS 11.0 successfully installed.
To begin, activate the virtual environment:
   . "/Users/mgd/tensorflow_macos_venv/bin/activate" 

When activating the env using source /Users/mgd/tensorflow_macos_venv/bin/activate

I switched to it & I found the following packages, noting that I uninstalled previous version before starting this trial. Anyhow, here's what I found.

tensorflow-addons      0.11.2
tensorflow-estimator   2.3.0
tensorflow-macos       0.1a1 

After running Python inside the terminal and trying to import it, I failed & here's the full log
