Description

Currently, TFX hard codes the tensorflow version here https://github.com/tensorflow/tfx/blob/master/tfx/dependencies.py, which specifically uses tensorflow package. However, tensorflow is not supported on M1 Apple silicon; users need to install tensorflow-macos in order to run tensorflow (does not change Python imports in scripts). Tensorflow has yet to support arm64 wheels for M1 Apple silicon (see this issue: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/57185). So at the meantime, it will be nice to offer certain platform-dependent flexibility that allows the M1 silicon users to use tensorflow-macos as depedency.
