Could you build this?
Partial Recording GPS tracks is basic, but reading, modifying, and safely writing EXIF/XMP/QuickTime metadata across diverse raw photo and video formats without corruption requires specialized media engineering.
What it would actually take: The application relies on Swift with CoreLocation for background GPS telemetry, but the core challenge lies in native metadata manipulation across HEIC, TIFF, DNG, and QuickTime/MP4 containers. A robust implementation requires integrating low-level metadata libraries (such as ExifTool bindings or custom libexif/libiptcdata wrappers) and handling edge cases like video timecode synchronization and proprietary RAW format fallbacks. Ensuring atomic writes and zero data loss on large media files requires specialized systems and iOS media framework expertise.
