Could you build this?
No Building an in-process network debugger that intercepts iOS/macOS network requests without TLS proxies or certificates requires deep systems-level knowledge of Apple networking runtimes (URLSession, Network.framework, and Mach ports).
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires a Swift/C client library embedded into the iOS target that swizzles or hooks low-level NSURLProtocol and Network.framework calls, streaming binary trace frames over a local socket or Bonjour connection to a native macOS desktop listener. The hardest parts are handling modern HTTP/3 and WebSocket traffic without crashing host apps or violating sandbox restrictions, along with zero-overhead binary serialization. Building this requires deep expertise in Apple platform internals, runtime swizzling, and low-level socket networking.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a observability & eval tool for Media & entertainment yet.
