Could you build this?
No Deep integration with native Apple Photos frameworks (PhotoKit), handling proprietary Live Photo pairs, background synchronization, and bit-level file integrity across iOS and macOS requires low-level native systems engineering.
What it would actually take: A native Swift/Objective-C application for macOS and iOS using PhotoKit (PHPhotoLibrary, PHAssetResourceManager) to extract raw HEIC/JPEG and paired MOV components with all EXIF, GPS, and library metadata intact. The backend involves a native multi-threaded storage engine supporting local I/O, SMB/NFS protocols for NAS, and S3-compatible cloud APIs, coupled with cryptographic hashing for bit-for-bit deduplication and delta sync. This demands senior Apple platform systems programming expertise and deep familiarity with iOS background task lifecycle constraints.
