Hi Matt, Apple has made it extremely difficult to do anything which accesses other apps or functions outside of your own app. Everything is “sandboxed” to make sure that your app doesn’t interfere with anyone else’s app or other Apple apps.
Apple has made sure that one can’t make a better iTunes app very easily at all. Go ahead and try if you like, you will discover it to be quite difficult. Apple doesn’t want anyone competing with them for such things. So, yes trying to monitor what’s going on with someone’s activities on the iPhone is pretty difficult. Most activity trackers do things like check the time and send a notification that one has not gone for a walk recently. They might also check the accelerometer to see if the iPhone has moved recently, but that app has to be running in the foreground for that to work. Tracker apps can use a lot of power too because they are checking things constantly and that can affect the daily battery time. Good luck!
