I am creating an API to create the Mysql connection. Can I use PHP to create this API? Can I normally use this API on iOS? I’ve seen it in many places (example) that I can use this API for Android, but I haven’t seen anyone using it for iOS.

You probably still don’t understand what each thing is. PHP will run on the server, it has nothing to do with iOS or Android. Your client will run on these operating systems and communicate with the server via HTTP (probably) and there is the API. REST API is universal.

That’s exactly what it was. I didn’t understand it very well! Thank you very much, clarified my doubt.

A Rest API serves precisely so that the application can communicate with the database in any client environment, such as IOS or ANDROID.
This way your application will communicate via URL with your API that can be developed in any server language, such as PHP or Ruby.
And you can integrate any application independent of your platform, as long as it can make URL requests, the only drawback is that your application will be internet dependent to communicate with the API.
