Ah, I didn't know SavedModel didn't work in android. I think freezing is still the way to go there? I'm sorry, I don't personally work on the mobile side of things.

I should apologize for hijacking this thread(and i'll stop here). But Tensorflow is getting to be unusable because of the serialization story. We don't have such issues on Caffe2 or anywhere else. It essentially means different parts of the tensorflow ecosystem are unable to talk to each other.

I really pray the tensorflow teams give it due importance.

I'm the original author of the freeze_graph script, so I'm to blame for a lot of the on-going mess here. For what it's worth I'm actively working on cleaning this up, since I know what a painful experience it is. Apologies for everyone who's struggled with this, and I will take a look at the case number mentioned above and follow up internally to see if there's anything I can help with.

Thanks for this! I would like to bring two things to your attention :

1. We don't know what to use and its very confusing. For example, now there is https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42216208/should-tensorfl.... Will freeze_graph become canonical and we forget about SavedModel? And everything else deprecated? It should be part of the core API and workable on CloudML, where we don't have a lot of control on running scripts and certainly not Bazel builds.

2. Android/ios story. Now you have the Pixel Visual Core as well... Please make it seamless all the way to Android or Ios or raspberry pi (whatever you guys support).
