Description

Hello, I've noticed that several other repos under @bazelbuild publish release tarballs to https://mirror.bazel.build/. For instance, rules\_go has these two equivalent URLs:

```
https://mirror.bazel.build/github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/releases/download/v0.26.0/rules_go-v0.26.0.tar.gz
https:// github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/releases/download/v0.26.0/rules_go-v0.26.0.tar.gz
```

However, this is not currently the case for rules\_apple. Would it be possible to mirror rules\_apple as well?

Having a mirror is nice because GitHub could potentially impose rate limits, which is undesirable for CI environments.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by checking how rules_apple releases are published and whether existing repository automation supports mirror.bazel.build; done means a release tarball is available through an equivalent mirror URL as well as GitHub.
