What the chart shows

Mobile hiring in the 'Who is hiring?' thread is a story of native versus cross-platform. iOS and Android move roughly together as the app economy booms and then cools, while the language underneath each shifts - Objective-C to Swift on one side, Java to Kotlin on the other. React Native and later Flutter carve out the cross-platform slice for web-leaning teams that want one codebase. The relative bands show how that mix has rebalanced over time; the sample postings reveal whether a given role wants deep native expertise or a single cross-platform skill set.
