I'm attempting to install mavsdk via pip and keep getting "ERROR: No matching distribution found..." Here's the relevant portions of the output from verbose pip install:

OS: MacOS v 11.2.2 Big Sur Arch: M1 ARM Python version: 3.8.2 PIP version: 19.2.3 Notes: Running Terminal in Rosetta mode and using a virtual environment via venv
I duplicated Terminal and am running it in Rosetta (x86) mode but doesn't seem to avoid this issue. Not sure if I'm interpreting the output correctly but seems like the only available versions PIP is looking to install is 0.5.2 to 0.12.0 tho current version is 0.16.1
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the information. I suppose it's time to start building mavsdk_server for M1 and push it to PyPi like all the other binaries that we already ship for x86_64, armv7, armv8/aarch64, win32, win_amd64, etc.
I think the first step would to have an M1 macOS machine in GitHub action but that doesn't seem very easy, just reading through: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/2187
Thanks for the quick reply! I was able to install ver 0.12.0 but haven't had a chance to run it yet. Probably will do so later this weekend.
There is no package for M1 macs (darwin arm64) available on PyPI https://pypi.org/project/mavsdk/#files, even for the latest release this month (1.3.0).
That doesn't mean you can't compile it yourself and try though. I personally didn't do that. I ran it in a Python docker image - which implicitly uses linux arm64 which is available on PyPI.
One issue we have is that the Github CI does not provide any M1 workers, so... :sweat_smile:
Looks like GitHub action support has been added (or is about to?): https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/507
Oh it's really really new then. I had checked very recently and it was not there :grin:. Well it would for sure be nice to try it!
I tried running one of those new workers, but they never start: https://github.com/mavlink/MAVSDK/pull/1783
Either I'm doing it wrong, or it's not ready for production yet
Hi! What is the status of this issue?
@ben-xD, I've tested local build on my M1-Pro. Everything looks fine for now.
I think it's not there: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/2187
@JonasVautherin, what if I donate an M1 cloud instance until this issue will be resolved? Say, provide an SSH key pair which you can store in build environment.
Do we really need to build this on Mac? Can't we use a wheel for ARM64?
Good question. I don't know.

This would be amazing if it works. Let me check again what the state of the GitHub action CI runners is.
I'm not sure if self hosted M1 runners are possible yet: https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/507
However, this tutorial would suggest that it is possible: https://betterprogramming.pub/run-github-actions-self-hosted-macos-runners-on-apple-m1-mac-b559acd6d783
