Which UI library to use for cross-platform game input?

What do you use when you know you want to port a game to Android/iOS, and thus need to translate your keyboard inputs to on-screen buttons?
Or do you just roll your own implementation?

(I'm also asking myself what the most practical way of including that would be - maybe doing a require in the main.lua which is only inserted in the Android/iOS build, or just a simple if statement and just packaging in the files anyways)

Designed for Android, I only know of Gööi - https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=79751 but it's unmaintained. The creator has announced he's working on a new one - https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php ... 29#p234029 but for now, Gööi may be the only option.
