Could you build this?
Partial While an app UI is easy to scaffold, synchronizing low-latency screen capture with simultaneous front-facing camera feeds, touch indicators, and real-time RTMP streaming across iOS and Android has significant native OS hurdles.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Swift/Kotlin code interfacing with ReplayKit on iOS and MediaProjection on Android to capture screen frames while concurrently running AVCaptureSession/CameraX for the face cam overlay. The frames must be hardware-encoded into H.264/AAC via VideoToolbox/MediaCodec and multiplexed into an MP4 container or streamed over RTMP. Managing OS memory constraints, thermal throttling during 60fps encoding, and cross-platform permissions requires seasoned mobile multimedia engineering.
