Exodus can detect a number of them: https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/

By installing their app, you can see the trackers for each app that you have installed. If you use Yalp store (an open source front-end for the Play Store), there is also a button to view trackers for each app.

Edit: just saw that you're on iOS. This is probably not allowed by Apple, so I guess there will be no alternative.

Working on this. It is very tricky to do for iOS in an App Store compliant manner, but doable. Apple has already approved it.

This is very welcome news, please do a "Show HN" or post a link to the announcement when it's ready.

For now, before I install an iOS app I run the Exodus Privacy tool on the Android version and must assume the same trackers are present on both platforms. What is worse, Apple fail to label which apps contain ads in the store so I can't even tell which ones are adware before installing (apps with ads are clearly disclosed in Google Play).
