Could you build this?
Partial The CLI/desktop wrapper is straightforward, but parsing Xcode project schemas (PBXProj), handling intricate dependency resolution graphs, and curating verified translation mappings between CocoaPods and SwiftPM requires deep Apple build toolchain knowledge.
What it would actually take: Implemented in Swift using `XcodeProj` and custom AST parsers for Podfiles and Package.swift manifests. The complex component is managing edge cases in PBXProject serialization, transitive binary xcframework dependencies, build settings migrations, and maintaining a verified registry of podspec-to-SPM target mappings.
