I'd love some assistance with the following points:

• How could I change the above script so that it works even if the shell is running under Rosetta?

• How can I force the installation of Rosetta 2, ideally from the command line, without signing into the App Store?

• Even better, how can I use Xcode, targetting macOS and iOS, and with the simulators available, without installing Rosetta 2?

• How can I script the any of the steps 1-4 above so they could be done over SSH?

The above is no longer necessary. curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s -- -y --default-toolchain nightly-2020-11-25 worked for me today. See https://blog.rust-lang.org/2020/11/27/Rustup-1.23.0.html#support-for-apple-m1-devices for more info. (Today's Rust Nightly is broken because of briansmith/ring#1130; tomorrow's should work.)
