Could you build this?
Partial The social rating app UI and database are simple CRUD, but synchronized real-time lyrics, liquid glass native graphics, and direct playback integrations across both Apple Music and Spotify require complex SDK handling and third-party licensing.
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/SwiftUI app development using MusicKit (Apple Music API) and the Spotify iOS SDK for playback state synchronization. The hard parts involve acquiring enterprise lyrics sync APIs (e.g., Musixmatch) which are strictly paywalled, alongside managing dual streaming authentication tokens and caching policies compliant with platform terms of service.
