Identify where app resources and containers are stored on devices.
macOS: /Library/Containers. There is a folder for each app. I believe the purpose is to isolate the apps from the system for security reasons. The resources folder can be accessed by control clicking an app > show package contents > contents > Resources. Path: Macintosh HD/Applications/APPNAME/Contents/Resources
iOS ??

Identify where app data is stored in iOS and iPadOS, and what happens to that data when an app is deleted from a device.
Not sure. Each app stores its own data in a sanboxed container. But you can delete data or view app data storage in Settings > General > iPhone Storage > App Name > Documents & Data
The data is deleted when you delete the app. You can restore the App data from a backup if you have one.
