Could you build this?
No Building a platform that compiles, sandboxes, and provisions native standalone macOS desktop apps on the fly from conversational prompts requires deep macOS systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires a custom Swift/AppKit templating runtime, an automated build/signing pipeline using Xcode command-line tools and Apple Developer certificates, and a secure local IPC sandbox. Creating reliable runtime generation without compilation errors across arbitrary macOS APIs requires deep Apple platform expertise.
