Push notifications
Firebase Cloud Messaging could do the work, doesn't it?
I think I would still need a dedicated server to execute the query for the notifications

Based on the docs I'm reading FCM or some other cloud messaging should be able to do what you need. It would be the originating server and would send the message to APN servers to deliver the push notification.

The Android implementation is as follows:
- A periodic background task is scheduled to run in-device every X hours (the user can choose the frequency)
- The task is run and calls the AniList API to get new unread notifications
- The task creates and send the Android notifications. Then repeat from step 1.
On iOS the periodic background task isn't possible, so I need another way to execute the step 2. That means I need a dedicated server which runs the notification query for every user using AniHyou, and this cost money.
This is what I think is possible with my current knowledge but I'm open for other suggestions

Really? I have a third-party weather app that periodically updates it's state based on the location I'm in. I believe it must check location and reach out to an API to get weather updates for that location to update the widget and watch complications
I'm not closing this yet because the current implementation isn't very reliable, this needs more work
