Looking at this comment: https://github.com/googlesamples/mlkit/issues/691#issuecomment-1625598912 this won't be addressed soon.

P.S. Since Julie would be in this thread, I'd like to highlight that many of us are still awaiting the ability to include MLKit models directly into the app's bundle, rather than requiring a separate download on each device (Digital Ink). This would greatly enhance user experience and convenience. (and will boost the satisfaction of working with Google MLKit)

+1 I have to use Google MLKit for a project and I'd really like to compile my app natively for simulator on my ARM Mac.

+1 When camera and GPU resources are unavailable, as in a Simulator, Apple throws errors or exceptions, but does compile those frameworks. It would be a massive win if MLKit and MLImage adopted the same philosophy as a shortcut to getting this arm64 arch exclusion removed.

For context, this is a blocker for us adopting a few CI vendors' technologies to automate our snapshot testing, so it's not just a save-some-time-compiling situation.
