Install fails because uamqp wheel build fails

[waku1123]

I want to install azure-iot-hub in a virtual environment (pip install azure-iot-hub), but the build of uamqp wheel fails. Is there something wrong with the installation method?

M2 Pro MacOS 14.4.1 python 3.9.17

azure-iot-hub depends on azure-uamqp-python package which is deprecated and fails to build on certain systems including Mac ARM and Linux ARM on Python 3.12+.

As a stopgap, I developed an small alternative package azure-iot-hub-api that has basic functionalities to use in my own project until the azure-iot-hub receive necessary updates. I tired to keep it as similar as possible to azure-iot-hub.

Also, there exits another package azure-iot-sdk-python which I haven't used, maybe it helps.
