getting this PyQt6 error "This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized on M1 silicon Mac in PyCharm "

Question

I am trying to run an application on my M1 silicon Mac on my PyCharm project and I keep getting the same problem after it runs correcly for the first time.

I have tried most suggestions from different but running into the same errors

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "cocoa" in "" This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Some things I have done include

1. Setting the QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH Environment Variable:

2. Reinstalling pyqt6

3. Creating a new virtual environment

etc
