Guys, I solved the problem. As you know, we install Appium globally. When we install the drivers (uiautomator2) with npm on a Mac computer, it is written into the .appium/node_modules/.cash/appium/extensions.yaml file (not global). The problem here is that the extensions.yaml file under npm-global is empty. When I copy the contents of this file into the .npm-global/node_modules/.cash/appium/extensions.yaml file, it works fine.
You don’t need to set APPIUM_HOME if you don’t want to! By default, Appium will set APPIUM_HOME to the directory .appium in your user home directory.
These installed packages will be managed by extensions.yaml in $APPIUM_HOME/node_modules/.cache/appium/extensions.yaml.

### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing iss… ues
### Current Behavior
I installed latest appium 2 beta version and installed the android and ios plugins.
When I start the appium server from terminal app I get the below error.
`appium --base-path=/wd/hub`
I am trying to run the command in Mac OS 13.3.1 and the new apple chip M1
### Expected Behavior
Appium server should start
### Minimal Reproducible Example
From mac `terminal` app run:
`appium --base-path=/wd/hub`
### Environment
- Operating system:
- If running via `appium` CLI...
- Appium CLI version (output of `appium --version`): 2.0.0-beta66
- Node.js version (output of `node --version`): 16.20.0
- `npm` version (output of `npm --version`): 8.19.4
- Last `appium` version which did _not_ exhibit the problem: one of the beta version
- If running Appium Desktop, its version:
- Appium driver(s) and their version(s):
- Appium plugin(s) and their version(s):
- Platform and version under test: iOS
- Real device or emulator/simulator: real device
