CI Actions and pip release for Apple M1 arm64 arch

[zhnext]

Hope contributors to set up release workflows and build release for macOS arm64 arch.

According to pypi, tflite-support packages were built and uploaded by 'tflite-support-robot'. This manual procedure could lead release fragile and cause much effort.

See tfa: https://github.com/tensorflow/addons/actions/workflows/release.yml?query=event%3Arelease

Thanks for the feedback! I'll add it in our feature request list. Let's use this issue to track future work.

Any update on this? Without this can't install tflite-model-maker in Apple Silicon devices.

tflite-support pypi user can build their own wheels using the instructions here.

@ziyeqinghan any instruction to build Model Maker Pypi for OSS users?

are there any updates regarding this feature? I would love to be able to pip install it on Apple M1 without building it myself

[lu-wang-g]

Not yet, sorry. We're still waiting for the support from TensorFlow build infra.

When is this going to work!

[tgsmith61591]

M1 machines have been out for some time, now. Is this going to work anytime soon?

[christian-steinmeyer]

Quick check-in, releases on pypi would be very useful.

Ping here. Can't still install tflite-model-maker

[waqasakram117]

Sadly it's still not available on Apple silicon

[lu-wang-g]

tflite-mode-maker is available on Apple M1, but not tflite-support.

For people who's interested in tflite-support, an alternative is MediaPipe Tasks, the next generation of tflite-support. See the documentation here for how to install it on Python: https://developers.google.com/mediapipe/solutions/tasks#python
