Is it possible/straightforward to have a webserver baked in to an iOS app?
Right now I'm using https://github.com/envoy/Embassy. There's also https://github.com/envoy/Ambassador if you want an "HTTP Framework". These are more lightweight, but they might not be feature complete.

Most effective approach for building a client/server application (MacOS)
I use https://github.com/swisspol/GCDWebServer but there are many webservers you can use. You can even use the Apache that is part of the standard MacOS distribution, where you write a standard CGI to make the Mac do things. Python also includes a standard webserver.
