Could you build this?
No Running macOS on Snapdragon X1 Elite hardware means kernel, bootloader, and hardware driver work that depends on low-level systems expertise and reverse-engineered firmware.
What it would actually take: Real progress requires bootloader and kernel patches for the Snapdragon X1 Elite platform, device-tree and driver work for display, storage, and GPU, and reverse-engineering of Apple-side boot components. This takes experienced low-level systems and ARM firmware engineers working with physical test hardware.
