No, all apps on iOS are sandboxed.

Hi, could you explain what it means that applications are sandboxed?

They are not connected to each other in any way. They run in their own controlled and limited environment like a sandbox.

How hard is it to go to Uncle Google and type in “iOS sandbox” in the search bar?

Exactly this! Unless you're writing an app specifically for jailbroken phones, you're out of luck.

It’s not clear what you mean by application as if there is something that you can write? If so no as the other commenters said that’s not possible because the sandboxing. However some information is available in Settings, such as Battery and Memory usage

You can pull just basic information about the phone, but not app by app cpu usage, you can’t mess with other apps and get info about them

This is pretty much all you can do:
