Terraform aws provider issue for Mac M1 Installation

I use Terraform v1.0.11 on my Mac M1. When I try to run terraform init, I run into the following error:

Initializing provider plugins...
- Finding latest version of hashicorp/local...
- Finding latest version of hashicorp/null...
- Reusing previous version of hashicorp/aws from the dependency lock file

╷
│ Error: Incompatible provider version
│ 
│ Provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/template v2.2.0 does not have a package available for your current platform, darwin_arm64.
│ 
│ Provider releases are separate from Terraform CLI releases, so not all providers are available for all platforms. Other versions of this provider
│ may have different platforms supported.

My provider provider info:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      version = "~> 3.53.0"
    }
  }
}

I understand that the provider version is not available for M1. Is there any workaround for this?

I tried using this: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/27257#issuecomment-754777716, but with provider version 3.53.0, but running into issues.

Is there any workaround for this problem?

I was able to resolve the issue by following below steps.

brew install kreuzwerker/taps/m1-terraform-provider-helper
m1-terraform-provider-helper activate

You might have to delete the .terraform.lock.hcl file if you're encountering checksum errors, and then run terraform plan and terraform apply again.

You can use what they say on this answer to run on your M1 which is to compile the resource for your architecture.

However template is a deprecated resource and you can use templatefile which works correctly on M1.
