Could you build this?

No Compiling and integrating a networking proxy core (Mihomo/Clash) into Apple's strict NetworkExtension sandbox requires low-level network protocol and systems engineering.

What it would actually take: The solution requires building a packet-tunnel provider via Apple's NetworkExtension framework in Swift/Objective-C, bridged with a Go core (Mihomo) compiled with gomobile/cgo under tight memory limits (15-50 MB). Deep expertise in tun2socks, IP packet routing, DNS interception, TLS cryptography, and iOS IPC is required to prevent memory kills and ensure high throughput.
