[Feature Request] Release pymsalruntime wheels for Windows ARM64 Architectures

MSAL client type

Public

Problem Statement

With the line of Microsoft Copilot+PC machines we now have more and more Windows ARM64 machines. It would be great to publish wheels for these machines. At the moment this is blocking the installation of azure-cli-core and mlflow in my python environments.

installing from source gives me errors:

  x Failed to build `pymsalruntime==0.14.2`
  |-> The build backend returned an error
  `-> Call to `setuptools.build_meta.build_wheel` failed (exit code: 1)

Proposed solution

I would be great if we could publish the precompiled wheel for Windows ARM64 architectures on pypi.org
