Could you build this?

Partial Building an Android TV app UI with leanback controls is straightforward, but integrating Apple Music playback requires navigating Apple MusicKit SDKs, Media-user tokens, and DRM (Widevine/FairPlay) licensing restrictions on third-party Android TV hardware.

What it would actually take: The app would be built in Kotlin using the Android TV Leanback library or Jetpack Compose for TV. The core bottleneck is Apple's MusicKit Web/Android SDK, which requires an Apple Developer Enterprise account, cryptographic token generation, and handling encrypted DRM audio streams via ExoPlayer under Apple's restricted API terms.
