Mac and :observer.start - ERROR: Could not find 'wxe_driver.so'

I just had this error with Erlang 25.1.1 and Elixir 1.14.0-rc.1-otp-25 on MacOS Monterey 12.3. For me, the fix was:

asdf uninstall erlang 25.1.1
brew install wxwidgets
asdf install erlang 25.1.1

I found this from this post about Ubuntu, leading to this issue comment, leading to these instructions for setting up asdf-erlang.
