glfw alternative

Doubt this is relevant given our iOS work is using apple stuff, but this claims iOS support: http://polycode.org/features/

Eh, this looks to be at the "drawing library" level, and we are doing our own drawing in a cross-platform way already using straight OpenGL ES. GLFW sets up a GL context and an app window for us to draw to, and the only logical migration from there is probably setting up said window and context manually.

Essentially what we're doing on iOS to setup a place for llmr to draw to is this minimal code:

https://github.com/mapbox/llmr-native/blob/a84f861d1f62b07df596ab91964477f2cb921f63/ios/MBXViewController.mm#L69-L83

So I don't think Polycode buys us anything.

Interesting library, but I don't think it's for us, as our needs are too specific re touch interaction and tiling data sources etc.
