    This article is pretty much exactly about what you describe.

    They hired a designer to make their product better, but they won't give you the authority to actually implement your expertise, because they have no idea what a designer does.

    Talk to your boss. Somebody needs to be the product manager. If they don't have the design vocabulary, maybe YOU need more authority to get the product THEY WANT developed.

    (as for transitions and interactions, maybe they're trying to do the least costly, most maintainable, most iOS native, and most performant approach. Just playing devils advocate, but you should ask them why they won't follow your prototypes. There might be valid reasons you aren't aware of.)
