I don't even think there is an API to do that for iOS. An app can get the battery level but I don't think it can sign up for OS events on the battery, so it would have to be constantly running to do that
A) I am pretty sure the API isn't there for it, unless the app would be running constantly, which it's not allowed to do indefinitely after being pushed to the background, and even then it'd cost extra energy to keep it running.
2) After the $100 a year it costs to be in the developer program and publish on the App Store, I doubt you'd make any money
Why would you even post this as you obviously knew it's not even helpful?
This app works fine.
Can set it to any battery charge level.
App needs to stay in foreground for audible alarm. For it to sound an audible alarm, the phone can't be locked.
There's also a paid "pro" version that does more stuff.

Maybe it’s worth switching to android for this feature.

The description about “overcharging your battery” is complete BS. It’s impossible to overcharge battery these days.This app works fine.

If you have an Apple Watch, the app “Phone Buddy” has what you are looking for as one of its features. It is an excellent app. You just have to tap the complicaton and then the iPhone option to check battery status. Very quick to see.

"Over charging" is open to interpretation.
If one iPhone is left plugged in 24/7 for months at a time, the battery will degrade significantly faster than another iPhone that was left unplugged at 50% charge.
While Apple would like everyone to believe that leaving a iPhone plugged in all the time isn't "overcharging", tests repeatedly show that keeping any lithium ion battery at an elevated charge level degrades its usable service life.
For sure, but over charging refers to an older battery that could actually have more juice crammed into it than it could actually hold. No doubt batteries hate being fully charged, but that is due to the higher voltage stressing the ions, not because it was actually overcharged.
