How to Avoid SteamVR to Get Vive Tracker Tracking Data？

Do you want to completely bypass the SteamVR application? If so, you would need a custom driver for the hardware.

Can I bypass SteamVR completely with an ios device to get Vive tracker tracking data？

Considering that SteamVR dropped support for IOS, I'd say libsurvive is your best bet, it's originally made for Linux iirc, so it should require minimal setup for IOS.

As far as I know, the ios serial port api is closed to libsurvive

Well i did say minimal setup, not no setup, if it doesn't have permissions to access that API and it needs it to work, you'll either have to make it work or you're out of luck.

Hello guys, I would like to ask how can I get the position and orientation from Vive Tracker? Is it the same way as getting the data from the headset and controllers?

Yes, with OpenVR it should work the same as with other tracked devices.
