Reply to Making API calls after receiving a notification
If an app is terminated then it won't get launched when it receives a background push, so you can't do it that way. However it is possible if a notification service extension is capable of getting the location, but you would have to request an entitlement from Apple. If you implement a notification service extension to intercept the push, the extension is capable of making a connection to your server. I don't know if the extension is capable of obtaining the location, you'd have to experiment and see if it is. Some extensions are limited in their capabilities but the notification service extension is capable of doing a lot of things. The problem is the push notification that the extension receives has to be displayed to the user. Unless you can get a notification filtering entitlement, that would enable the notification from not being displayed to the user. The entitlement can be applied for through the Apple developer account, you have to give a justification to Apple why you want/need it.

Reply to Usage of IOS Private APIs such as IOKit Framework
If an API is private then yes your app will get rejected from the App Store. As to whether iokit is private, it doesn't look like it for 3 reasons: 1) you can find documentation about it by googling, a private api has no available documentation 2) it doesn't say it is 3) Eskimo doesn't say anything about it being private in his comment here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/719564

Reply to Problem Installing Cocoapods
When I moved from a non M chip Mac to an M1 Mac I had huge amount of pain getting thing set up for RN. Too many problems to remember and list. However, I remember something about Ruby, the default version that comes with the Mac wasn't the correct version (too old maybe) to work nicely with RN. I can see a few mentions about Ruby above. Maybe google about that to see if that's an issue

Reply to I want to be a developer but have no experience
You can learn how to code for iOS from books and tutorials, but unless you do something like enroll in a programming course that teaches you the fundamentals and principles of design and code, then the chances are you won't achieve your goal to become a good developer, you'll be somebody who can create an iOS app but is probably designed like crap and implemented terribly and is working tenuously and will fall apart with a slight change. If it works as you intended maybe that doesn't matter to you, but you did say good developer was your goal as opposed to a goal of being able to develop an iOS app. Sorry to sound so negative, but it's just the truth.

Reply to Operating system
Many years ago I worked as part of a team creating an operating system for a mobile device, it was a team of about 50 people and it took about 3 years to get the first version ready. You think you can create an entire operating system on your own and by assistance from a forum?
