Mobile native app accessibility and GIF animation compliance

Hi All,

Can someone shed some light on accessibility guidelines that one should for
Mobile native apps iOS and Android.
I understand that WCAG is only for the web and there can be some mapping
that can be done from WCAG guidelines to mobile apps but want to
understand if there are any set of guidelines for mobile apps just like for
web with A, AA and AAA conformances.

Also, if there is a GIF on one of the mobile native app screen which keeps
animating (no way to stop) but isn't that harmful or obstructs the user
from reading the content, does it fail under AA?

something similar:
