I’m trying to follow the FME Form course from a MAC and one of the very first exercises is using a Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API) writer.

Unfortunately I’m getting this error on the platform. Is there any workaround for this?

Esri does not yet support that platform, but we have an internal ticket open for when it does (FMEENGINE-80358). I’m sorry for any inconvenience and I will make sure to keep you updated.
A potential workaround would be to run macOS Intel FME under Rosetta2.
Also, depending on your FME licensing, you could also set up FME on a Windows virtual machine to use the File Geodatabase Open API.
If you want to continue to work through the FME Form course on the FME academy you can request a windows VM here: Virtual Machine Request.
