Could you build this?
Partial The UI and religious content are trivial, but implementing friction screens before iOS apps launch requires specialized iOS FamilyControls and ManagedSettings Screen Time APIs.
What it would actually take: The app requires Swift and Apple's FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity frameworks, specifically implementing a DeviceActivityMonitor extension and a ShieldConfiguration / ShieldAction extension. Gaining Apple's Family Controls entitlement is heavily restricted, and debugging iOS Screen Time extensions is notorious for cryptic sandbox and IPC limitations.
