Could you build this?
No Apple sandbox implementations involve reverse engineering or interfacing with macOS/iOS kernel security mechanisms (Seatbelt / libsandbox.dylib), requiring deep low-level operating system and security research.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires intimate knowledge of XNU kernel internals, undocumented libsandbox C APIs, and Scheme-based SBPL (Sandbox Policy Language). Developers need low-level systems programming experience in C/Objective-C/Swift alongside security research tools to safely trace kernel system call enforcement.
