Could you build this?
No Replacing system SF Symbols system-wide on iOS or macOS requires jailbreaking/root access, patching CoreUI, or exploiting system caches and SIP-protected system assets.
What it would actually take: Building a system-wide icon replacer on Apple platforms requires reverse engineering the CoreUI framework and the proprietary Assets.car binary file format. It requires bypassing Apple's System Integrity Protection (SIP) on macOS or utilizing kernel/jailbreak exploits (or MobileGestalt/kfd on iOS) to dynamically hook symbol rendering APIs or safely replace system asset catalogs in memory without bricking system UI daemons.
