I need to implement an app that exchanges data with peripherals through TypeC on Apple 15 phones, but I have two questions that I need to ask for help:

Which library is used to communicate with peripherals through the TypeC port of the Apple mobile phone?
Do peripherals need to pass MFi authentication before they can communicate with the App?

You sent the same comment seven times, which probably nobody read. I'm not sure what the comments feature is for; new comments don't bump the visibility of a thread, and they're closed by default.

You haven't said what sort of accessory your peripheral is. If it is mass storage, a microphone, a camera, a keyboard or a game controller, there is native support for such devices on iOS. If it is something else, you need some kind of custom software. On iPhone, (and on many models of iPad), you cannot use DriverKit, so your only recourse is EAP and making your device part of the MFi program.
