Are you wanting this annotation to be saved later for others to see? Or just for you to see?

Using something like WebAppBuilder, you can utilize a Draw Widget that will allow you to draw shapes as well as text (annotation):

We would like annotation to be persisted so that other can also see.

Thanks Adrain for your response. But I wanted to do free style drawing on AGSMapView for native iOS Application. Please let us know how to do the same on iOS?

Appreciate your help.

I am not familiar with the AGSMapView for iOS. Hopefully someone on these boards can help.

If you aren't restricted to only AGSMapview: You could create an editable feature layer of a polyline shapefile. Make this the only editable layer and use Collector for ArcGIS or an ArcGIS Online Web App with editor tool. Collector will work with iOS (compatible with iOS 8 or later: Collector for ArcGIS | ArcGIS and the web app will work on any HTML5 browser.
