Could you build this?

Partial The macOS dashboard UI is straightforward to vibe-code, but reliably listing and launching Xbox/Microsoft Store PC games depends on undocumented or restricted platform internals and authentication.

What it would actually take: The UI can be built in Swift/SwiftUI with an AI assistant, and game art and metadata can come from public sources. The hard part is discovering the installed library and launching titles through Microsoft's store and Game Pass mechanisms, which are poorly documented and change over time. That takes someone who can reverse-engineer or work around those platform APIs on macOS, plus ongoing maintenance as Microsoft changes them.
