I am trying to run a Qiskit QAOA algorithm on AWS Rigetti Aspen M 1 Backend using qiskit braket provider. However qiskit is not able to properly transpile the circuit

optimizer = COBYLA(maxiter=50)
provider = AWSBraketProvider()
backend = QuantumInstance(
    provider.get_backend("Aspen-M-1"),
    shots=1024,
    seed_transpiler=algorithm_globals.random_seed,
    seed_simulator=algorithm_globals.random_seed,
)
qaoa = QAOA(
    reps=p,
    expectation=cvar_exp,
    optimizer=optimizer,
    quantum_instance=backend,
    callback=store_intermediate_result,
)
ckt=qaoa.construct_circuit([1.0,1.5],qubit_op)
ckt[0].draw()
transpiled_circuit = transpile(
    ckt[0], 
    backend=provider.get_backend("Aspen-M-1"), 
    #seed_transpiler=42
)
transpiled_circuit.draw(idle_wires=False, fold=-1)

leads to the following error:

This backend's operations: h,id,p,rx,ry,rz,s,sdg,t,tdg,x,y,z only apply to a subset of qubits. Using this property to get 'basis_gates' for the transpiler may potentially create invalid output

Similar error occurs when I try to directly get results by

result = qaoa.compute_minimum_eigenvalue(qubit_op)

The code works fine with other hardware, it seems only Rigetti has this problem.

Investigating a bit, this looks like it's due to the fact that the Rigetti device's operations aren't all global (there are certain qubits/pairs on which a gate may not be supported). As a result, Qiskit adds a gate direction check to the transpiler passes. However, the direction check relies on the coupling map, which isn't populated by the Qiskit-Braket provider. This looks like it's worth raising an issue for in the repo!
