Describe the actual behavior

Runtime error: "objc[1064]: Class TFLBufferConvert is implemented in both /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/D3732F45-70C8-458D-8BD7-3A8E99C8BB47/ObjectDetector.app/ObjectDetector.debug.dylib (0x106250610) and /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/D3732F45-70C8-458D-8BD7-3A8E99C8BB47/ObjectDetector.app/ObjectDetector.debug.dylib (0x1062526e0). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined."

Describe the expected behaviour

I should be able to use "pod 'TensorFlowLiteSwift', '~> 0.0.1-nightly', :subspecs => ['Metal']"

Standalone code/steps you may have used to try to get what you need

Use this Podfile

target 'ObjectDetector' do

  use_frameworks!
  pod 'MediaPipeTasksVision', '0.10.20'
  pod 'TensorFlowLiteSwift', '~> 0.0.1-nightly', :subspecs => ['Metal']
  
  # Pods for ObjectDetector
end

pod install

Build & run iOS app

Other info / Complete Logs

Most developers considering using Mediapipe in iOS apps will have separate TFLite models executed using TensorFlowLiteSwift directly. However, once the Mediapipe pod (eg MediaPipeTasksVision) is added to your podfile, existing usage of TensorFlowLiteSwift + Metal delegate will cause runtime errors. They both link to the same Obj-C code.

The Mediapipe iOS Pod should support a configuration that does not collide with TensorFlowLiteSwift Pod + Metal to allow greater iOS adoption with apps already using TFLite.
