Building tensorflow-io locally on Mac M2

[AndrewKovalenko]

I try to build tensorflow-io locally on my Mac with Silicon M2 by running

$(which python) setup.py -q bdist_wheel
$(which python) setup.py -q bdist_wheel --project tensorflow_io_gcs_filesystem

which gives me

Install Requires: ['tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem==0.32.0']

and generates two files in dist so I assume that build was successful.

-rw-r--r--   1 dev  staff  224569 May 22 12:19 tensorflow_io-0.32.0-cp310-cp310-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl

then I install both packages with

$(which python) -m pip install --no-deps tensorflow_io-0.32.0-cp310-cp310-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl --force-reinstall
$(which python) -m pip install --no-deps tensorflow_io_gcs_filesystem-0.32.0-cp310-cp310-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl --force-reinstall

and both commands give successful result but when I try to import tensorflow_io I get the following error:

Replica of #1755

Hopefully it will get fixed soon. It's a MacOS issue... works on Linux/arm64

Unfortunately Apple Silicon support has been an issue here for a long time; totally understandable when M1 was first released, but it's not going to be much longer until we have M3 😢 (See: #1625 from Feb 2022).
