Could you build this?

Partial Building a basic Android UI is straightforward, but maintaining an unauthenticated YouTube Music player requires constantly reverse-engineering YouTube's obfuscated internal APIs and signature cipher.

What it would actually take: A production version requires an Android client (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose, ExoPlayer) coupled with an extraction library (such as NewPipeExtractor or Innertune's architecture). The difficult part is reverse-engineering YouTube's evolving Innertube API, handling signature descrambling, bot detection bypasses, and media stream extraction without official API keys.
