Comment (by CodeforEvolution):

 Apparently, Paragon released an open-source SDK, kind of like the NTFS-3G
 library we make use of for our NTFS driver:
 https://github.com/Paragon-Software-Group/paragon_apfs_sdk_ce

 There are three caveats however:
 - The library only supports APFS with read-only file system support
 - The library license clause is a strange 3-Clause BSD like license
 - There's a weird condition clause in the license: "Modification of the
 source code does not implement and/or enable APFS write
   functionality."
