Could you build this?
Partial A native SwiftUI viewer for Kick streams is buildable, but ad-free playback depends on reverse-engineering Kick's undocumented stream endpoints, which break when the platform changes.
What it would actually take: A real version would be a SwiftUI app using AVPlayer for HLS playback, with a networking layer for Kick's public and undocumented API to fetch channel and stream metadata. The hard part is obtaining stream playlists without the ad insertion and keeping that working as Kick changes its endpoints and protections. That needs someone who can inspect network traffic and maintain the extraction logic, and it may raise terms-of-service issues with the platform.
