Cannot install tflite-support==0.4.4 on macOS 15.5 (Apple Silicon M4); metadata_writers module not found

[cuongttn2]

I am unable to install tflite-support==0.4.4 on macOS 15.5 running on an Apple Silicon M4 chip. I have tried multiple Python versions (3.8, 3.9, 3.11, and 3.12) but pip always fails to find a compatible wheel for 0.4.4. Instead, pip either reports “No matching distribution found” or installs an older alpha release (e.g., 0.1.0a1). As a result, when I attempt to import tflite_support.metadata_writers, I get:
ImportError: cannot find reference 'metadata_writers' in 'tflite_support/__init__.py'
I need the metadata_writers functionality to generate metadata files for TFLite models, but I cannot install the correct version of the library that contains it.

I got the same exact problem, but on Windows.
Atleast there is a wheel for macos (see https://pypi.org/project/tflite-support/0.4.4/#files), you can try downloading installing it with pip directly.
