AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'transData'

I'm trying to use mpldatacursor to label a few points on a plot. Here's an MWE:

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from mpldatacursor import datacursor

xarr = np.array([1.,2.,3.])
yarr = xarr*2
labels = ['Alpha', 'Beta', 'Gamma']

ax = plt.gca()
pts = ax.plot(xarr, yarr, marker='o', ls='None', mfc='r', mec='k', mew=1.0, ms=8.0, label='Example points')
datacursor(pts, hover=True, point_labels=labels, bbox=dict(fc='0.75', alpha=0.75), xytext=(20,25))

When I click on any of the three points plotted, no label appears and I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/sbasu1/packages/macports/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/matplotlib/cbook/__init__.py", line 287, in process

    x, y = ax.transData.inverted().transform_point(point)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'transData'

The above traceback is repeated about a dozen times. I'm using matplotlib 3.5.3 with python 3.9.14. My matplotlib backend is MacOSX.

Same issue for me, the code was done previous this issue was opened and it was working fine then. Now, it returns this error.

Python 3.9 matplotlib 3.5.1 mpldatacursor 0.7.1 [from pip]

I'm also using MacOS, but with an Apple Silicon chip.

Still an issue here as well:

Will update this post if workaround is found
