How to list all packages in apple's conda channel?

I know Apple provides tensorflow-metal on their conda -c apple channel. How do I see the rest of the packages in that channel?

The "answers" I found online address finding a package to install, like conda search *tensorflow* but this is not what I want. Instead, I would like to see what packages Apple has in their -c apple channel that I can install: in short "browse apple repository", a concept that I'm surprised is so difficult to achieve under conda...

p.s. I have tried conda search -c apple but it only lists all the packages from conda-forge, even after I did a conda config --add channels apple.

You can browse all packages in an Anaconda Cloud channel by visiting:

https://anaconda.org/<channel_name>/repo

For the apple channel, the tensorflow-deps package is the only package (right now).

Conda CLI

Alternatively, one can also use conda search with something like:

$ conda search --override-channels -c apple '*'
Loading channels: done
# Name                       Version           Build  Channel             
tensorflow-deps                2.5.0               0  apple               
tensorflow-deps                2.5.0               1  apple               
tensorflow-deps                2.6.0               0  apple               
tensorflow-deps                2.7.0               0  apple

to list all packages. Note that the selector * must be escaped ('*') otherwise the shell will interpret it.

PyPI

The tensorflow-macos and tensorflow-metal packages are on PyPI, not Anaconda Cloud, and are uploaded by user Kulin Seth.
