Re: Can we adjust for DST?
If an event on your calendar happens at on Day X at 1PM, then it should happen at 1PM regardless of DST or not. For example, the Nightly News is always on at 6PM, regardless of whether or not we are in DST.

Internally, our servers run GMT, and (depending on the country and timezone you are in) we will take DST (if observed) into account when sending event reminders.

I'm not sure how you are constructing the dates on your iOS app, but if you can't force an event to be created with the time you specific (without auto-adjusting) then you would need to determine in DST is in effect and adjust accordingly. This is hugely complicated as it varies across the globe. I would strongly recommend more research on the iOS side of things.
