I’ve got a couple of fixes for iOS and Android that would be good to get into master.

I’ve had issues with PNG on Android that I discussed [here](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/png-android-linking-problem/1311/2) but I’m still pretty unsure about merging in changes for third party dependencies. Important to note this is not an issue of [VTK building](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/png-android-linking-problem/1311/2), its an issue of linking when being used by another project which does. Here’s my forked branch of that with the key change.

On iOS I added support for using TBB which has a merge request that’s gone pretty stale and I’m not sure what the hold up is/was: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge\_requests/4862](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/4862)
