Description
TensorBoard won't build with the most recent Bazel 7.0.0, released yesterday, due to an error arising from rules_apple (note: only visible after bumping the Bazel allowed version window in WORKSPACE):
ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):

Based on https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/19938 it looks like this is ultimately an issue with gRPC, which needs to update to support Bazel 7.0.0 including bumping rules_apple (which has released a fix). So far, they don't seem to be actively working on it though: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/34791

Research direction
Start with the Bazel version window in WORKSPACE and the gRPC dependency referenced at WORKSPACE line 197; reproduce the failure with Bazel 7.0.0 and review the linked gRPC issue and rules_apple fix. Done means TensorBoard builds with Bazel 7.0.0 or newer without the apple_common.multi_arch_split error.
