Based on your description on what you like/hate I think you should go for something slowly changing, like ObjC/Swift or Java/Kotlin. Something were mastership is rewarded as opposed to just copy/pasting sort of working code from some random example on the web that you barely have time to understand because of its inherent complexity. Explicitly don't go for React (Native) or anything else that has come out of the crazy world of javascripters doing mobile. |

Platforms are because of the market dynamics remarkably long-lived. In the case of iOS, the APIs date back to like 1985, with Next Inc. In the case of Android, back to 2003.
The platform-level APIs and frameworks tend to be grown organically, in a way that is quite far away from the yearly fads.
It's really hard to hire people who are actually good at the core aspects of these platforms - most new devs seem to get sidetracked by the latest shiny framework, that will then die 3-5 years later. Meanwhile the platform APIs live for multiple decades, and take a lot of effort to master.
