Could you build this?

Partial While wrapping messaging APIs (Telegram, Slack, Discord) is simple, maintaining multi-tenant reverse-engineered iMessage protocol bridges (or dedicated macOS relay infrastructure) and WhatsApp Business verification requires substantial non-trivial infra.

What it would actually take: The system requires a distributed webhook and polling architecture in Go or Node.js connecting to diverse messaging protocols, paired with a unified messaging event schema. The critical bottleneck is iMessage integration, which necessitates either orchestrating fleets of virtualized macOS instances running customized AppleScript/PrivateFrameworks daemons (like BlueBubbles/MacBridge) or reverse-engineering Apple's APNs/IDS push protocols, requiring specialized protocol reverse engineering and hardware management.
