This is possible with nbt tags i think and i am not so good with that, so i have a makeshift solution for now.

 

Make a potion effect, then create a "When effect expires".

When effect expires - if (is day in the provided world) do (spawn gem [your item])

 

Then for your entity, go to the "entity tick update".

If Not (is day in provided world) do (add potion effect [the potion effect you made] for [5 ticks]) 

 

The item spawn when its somewhat dark so you can change the ticks in the "expired effect" to a larger number to make it spawn later.

(item spawns at 23500 ticks and one day is 24000 ticks).

 

So this makes the entity drop one item every day, now i only tested this in casual situations but i have no idea how this works for the entity if its for example out of range or on server. Hope this helps for now!

by having 2 of the same entity. one that gives the item and then quickly changes into the other that waits untill the next day.
