Description

Sorry for opening an issue for such a supporting problem.

I'm running the tests of this project using pytest on macOS with Apple Silicon, but I got any error saying that only linux-x64 is the only supported platform for now. Will there be any plan to support macOS? Or can I get a guidance on how to add support for such platform?

Thank you in advance.

Research direction

Start by running the project tests with pytest on macOS with Apple Silicon and locate the platform check that reports linux-x64 as the only supported platform. Trace the support path from that error and identify the platform-specific requirements. Done means the project supports macOS on Apple Silicon and the relevant tests pass.
