Audio/Midi time sync
This may show my complete ignorance on midi and daws in general, but is there a way to do an analog track, then sync midi to that track? I do acoustic guitar recordings, would love to be able to build a midi track of percussion that would speed up and slow down where my playing does the same. I can't see how this would work, but I thought I'd ask.

I'm using Auria, so basically, I have to do dick with the tempo track to get it to match. That's what I thought. Been playing with Beathawk, and love the sounds. Might be better to do the percussion track before the guitar.
Not exactly what you're looking for, but in Auria Pro, you can create transient markers for an audio clip, copy them to the clipboard, then paste them as midi into a midi track. This would give you an idea where to place notes to play in time with your groove.
I didn't know that. Interesting.

For iOS idk but with Ableton Link you can develop a solution which can fit your needs probably. Maybe one of those midi guitar things and midiflow...
it's hard to post sync a steady beat to an acoustic guitar recording
(considering slight drifts in timing as groove essentials)
The method at @wim suggests is a good approach, but I'd extend it with some intermediate audio tracks.
Duplicate the guitar take and filter out highs (low pass) to focus on an imaginary bass.
Move the copy in time so it generally fits best.
There will be regions that don't match and these can be treated with the 'elastic audio' feature to blend properly. Or even be overdone to create something new.
Make another copy of the displaced track, and switch the low pass with a high pass.
Then do the same as before but focussed on snare like stuff, offbeat accents etc.
Once you're satisfied with your fake drum kit apply the groove extraction thing and use it to drive real drum sounds.
If you use Live you can extract the groove from your recording or live play. From there you can drop the groove file (.agr)onto a Midi track, which will then show all your played notes, and velocity data (as regular Midi file now). You can apply your groove to other tracks, and there's a bunch more you can do with groove file velocity, transients, randomization etc, shifting notes on/off quantization by up to 1/64th I believe.
Another solution is pre-automation like...

Interesting idea, @Telefunky. I'll give that a go.
You could always just treat the DAW like a tape recorder and play the drums live using a pad controller along with your guitar recording...... recording the MIDI, as opposed to programming it......you can then go back and make adjustments for mistimed drum hits etc
Yup, I do that, but I find I get better results if I built it up via midi. I am, sadly, not a drummer.
