[Python] Python Selenium ChromeDriverManager Install Path Error...

I've been running into a problem in Python's Selenium ChromeDriverManager on a Mac (ARM64/M3 Chip).

When I run the below Python code, I get the following error:

[Errno 8] Exec format error: '/Users/adam.westbrook/.wdm/drivers/chromedriver/mac64/129.0.6668.89/chromedriver-mac-arm64/THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.chromedriver'

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(executable_path=ChromeDriverManager().install()))


For some reason, the ChromeDriverManager is trying to use THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.chromedriver as the driver rather than the file chromedriver.

When I look at the folder, the filetype of the file chromedriver shows it's a Document rather than a Unix Executable File.

But when I manually unzip the zip file that was automatically downloaded, chromedriver then correctly shows it's a Unix Executable File.

How can I fix this?
