rpaframework dependencies fail to build on MacOS 15.5 on Apple Silicon #1223
Description
Is there a way to install rpaframework on MacOS Sequoia 15.5 on Apple Silicon?
I'm trying to install rpaframework (30.0.2), however it is dependent on an old pyobjc-core (below 10.0). Note that the latest version of pyobjc-core builds just fine, however rpaframework doesn't seem able to use it, while the latest version that is compatible with rpaframework (9.2) no longer builds due to the use of deprecated APIs.
Here are the key bits of what I see with:
pip install rpaframework
PIP STDOUT
----------
Collecting rpaframework

which reports:
PIP STDERR
