If you are talking about application monitoring (RUM) you have to go to your application => edit => advanced settings. There you can create injection rule that may not inject JS on particular Uris. In such case you will not have JS injected where it may produce issues.

If you are talking about excluding particular service calls from monitoring you can go to Settings => Server side & service monitoring => Deep monitoring => Exclude specific incoming request URI’s and they will not show up in dynatrace services. But this will not change that whole process is instrumented and data will be collected by agent. They will be only filtered during storing in DT Server.

on iOS you can exclude URLs from monitoring by adding filter rules to the Info.plist - see example below

<key>DTXURLFilters</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>Url Name</key>
            <string>example.com</string>
            <key>Filter</key>
            <string>none</string>
        </dict>
        <dict>
            <key>Url Name</key>
            <!-- URL regex is also allowed -->
            <string>example.(com|org)</string>
            <key>Filter</key>
            <string>none</string>
        </dict>
    <array>

UPDATE:
above example is outdated and as of OneAgent SDK for iOS version 8.219 an array of items where each item contains the URL filters to exclude web requests from monitoring is sufficient now. Each item in the array should be a URL string or regular expression matching the URL your want to filter.

<key>DTXURLFilters</key>
  <array>
    <string>example.com</string>
    <!-- URL regex is also allowed -->
    <string>example.(com|org)</string>
  <array>
