I don't have iOS 10.x devices but I tried to run on simulator, and couldn't reproduce this issue (at least with current master branch).

It doesn't crash on the emulator for me either.
Could it be a 32-bit (armv7) vs 64-bit (arm64 issue)?
The device I am running it on is 32 bit.

Based on your posted log messages. It seems the process failed at this line:

metalangle/src/libANGLE/renderer/gl/eagl/DisplayEAGL.mm

Line 91 in 4ccacad

return egl::EglNotInitialized() << "Could not create the EAGL context.";

Which means mContext = [[EAGLContext alloc] initWithAPI:kGLESAPI]; failed. It's probably due to the phone's hardware doesn't support native OpenGL ES 3 (iPhone 5 and below).
This is the current limitation of MetalANGLE. On older devices, I fall back to use native OpenGL ES backend, but that back-end is not maintained by me. My main focus is Metal backend. OpenGL ES backend was maintained by upstream ANGLE and from what I know, they still support OpenGL ES 3.0+ hardwares only.

I don't think iPhone 5 and below have much market share currently. So they are low priorities in the support list.

Thank you very much. Your analysis is correct. Once I made these changes it works.

//constexpr EAGLRenderingAPI kGLESAPI = kEAGLRenderingAPIOpenGLES3;
constexpr EAGLRenderingAPI kGLESAPI = kEAGLRenderingAPIOpenGLES2;

I have a bit similar issue. But in my case I can run the sample (and any other app) on real devices flawless but I can't run them in any simulator. I get the following output which is a bit different to the one of this issue, but has the same eglError code: https://gist.github.com/Berstanio/81708a6431d0bcda2145143591062eec

//constexpr EAGLRenderingAPI kGLESAPI = kEAGLRenderingAPIOpenGLES3;
constexpr EAGLRenderingAPI kGLESAPI = kEAGLRenderingAPIOpenGLES2;

This change didn't fixed the issue.

I don't exactly know how the ios simulator works but a idea of mine was, that this could be related to the fact, that I run macos in a vm. Could this produce the issue? And if this is the case, is there any way to fix this?

@Berstanio macos in a vm doesn't support metal, so it failed to create a metal device:

MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice() zero devices
