I want to buy a game controller that will work with Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows. (Big bonus points if it will work with old OS versions.) I want it to be able to physically clip on with my phones.

(EDIT: If it's a common enough controller then it doesn't need to have a clip for phones because there are probably separate clips i can buy and add on myself.)

There are so many controllers out there that I'm overwhelmed! What's a great works-with-everything controller?

Xbox controllers are a good common denominator. All the platforms you mention have official support for them.

Most recommended alternatives you will find simply emulate an Xbox controller for this reason.

To 1up this recommendation, Scuf controllers are some of the best evolutions of the Xbox controller that I've found so far. The Xbox Elite 2 controllers are also pretty good if you get past the firmware update.
