Description
Changing the default main from int main(){
To support the passed arguments: int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
GLFW supports some commands so will be a good idea
Also iOS supports some arguments and we could pass them down to
UIApplicationMain(int argc, char *argv[], NSString *principalClassName, NSString *delegateClassName); which is called by void ofAppiOSWindow::startAppWithDelegate(string appDelegateClassName) {

Else just having these values in the default projects will make it easier for developers to think about using them.

Research direction
Start with the default main entry points and read ofAppiOSWindow.mm, especially startAppWithDelegate and the UIApplicationMain call referenced in the issue. Check how GLFW commands and iOS arguments should flow into these entry points; done means the default projects accept argc and argv and pass them through where required.
