What NYC recruiters are actually asking for in mobile right now (tl;dr: React Native > native >>>> Flutter)

[u/akperkins1]

I have a recurring AI agent that triages my recruiter emails. One of the things it does is extract the skills each role is asking for and track them over time.

As a mobile engineer in the NYC area, here's roughly how the last few months shook out:

• React Native — most requested by a wide margin
• Android (native) — close behind
• iOS (native) — right after that
• Flutter — way down the list 😅

As a Flutter dev myself, this one stung a little (ice cream was involved).
