You are obviously more advanced than the rest of us so we cannot possibly help you in any way.

You do know that native M1 versions of SketchUp and Layout were released several weeks ago? Of course you do.

I stand corrected, they did just release the M1 update. I am going to download the universal installer today and get back to work. Thanks.
Update: SketchUp 2022 Works great on my M1 Max!

We have terrible problems running the native SU 2022 on M1/M1 pro, crashing every 5th minute on all different kinds of projects/models for the last weeks. Have restarted, updated both SU and macOS, but with no luck.
Working in SU2021 via Rosetta 2 works way better, but then we will have even more problems with views/scenes if ever working in SU2022 again in the future.
An extension that doesnāt support M1?
Have you sent in your bugsplats?
You could try running 2022 in Rosetta (you can choose that in Get Info for the SketchUp app). That would help to tell if it is an M1 issue with an extension, or if it is a 2022 general issue.
Yes, un-native SU2021 is working way more reliably than 22 for us at the moment (!).
Every bugsplat have been submitted, but I donāt bother writing my details and explanation on every one of themā¦ 
I donāt see any bugsplats for your email address. Do you know of the number for one of them? If not, next time it crashes watch the browser page that is opened. That will show the bugsplat number.
Hello Colin, thanks for looking into it! I opened SU22 now and worked for 10 minutes (quite long actually!) before it crashed. Now I put my name and e-mail address in the bugsplat-box, and wrote a bit about what I was doing before it crashed this time. Crash #36389. Iām very happy to have SU21 to fall back on ā otherwise our working days would be quite unbearable 
Oh, didnāt see this before, Iāll try forcing SU22 to run in Rosetta 2!
Iāve been running SU22 in forced Rosetta 2-mode now for 22 minutes without crashing, with a quite graphics-, texture- and edge/face-intensive model and no problems so far. I think this is another well-working patch for the time being. Thank you for that suggestion Colin! 
UPDATE:
Still working very well with SU22+forced Rosettat 2 regarding the earlier crashing-issues!
Am still wishing for some major improvements for Layouts performance on macs though

Layout is not gonna improve until sketchup uses the metal API instead of the OpenGL, I donāt know why they havenāt done that yet, apple left OpenGL in 2016, so even though thereās a native apple silicon version of sketchup, it stills canāt show itās real performance. Blender uses the metal API and the gain in performance is unbelievable. I love sketchup and would like to see the full performance gain once Trimble decides to leave the old OpenGL at least with macs.
Aha, that makes sense! I too hope that especially LO will improve a lot in the near future,because it is becoming more and more tedious to work with unfortunately. It works so great, but the sluggish and sometimes horribly slow performance is making it very hard to live with.
I donāt know why it took me so long to stumble upon this thread but I just enabled forced Rosetta and re-enabled 4x anti-aliasing and fast feedback and so far so good. Any news from you ~7-8months later? Any crashes?
Hope this is fixed for 2023 natively. Also hope the dev team seriously considers using Metal instead of OpenGL.
Hello Yoav,
Happy to hear this fix works for you too!
Iām currently using both SU22 in forced Rosetta-mode (havenāt experimented any more with disabling it cause there doesnāt seem to be any updates regarding this that would help?), but Iām mostly using SU20 because I was missing the make-new-layers directly from entity info-feature (mac) and was getting annoyed with constantly having to re-activate the license for SU22. I donāt notice any drawbacks from ādowngradingā, but love being back at classic license and SU20.
At the moment I donāt feel encouraged by anything to upgrade to any newer versions of SU unless there are finally some performance benefits. We generally donāt need new features, but a better working machine ā as it is, just better built. This especially goes for LO.
Gotcha, thanks for the update @sigfreds. Crossing fingers '23 solves these issues
