As a native mobile developer I just noticed a new trend called fullstack mobile developer (web and mobile), it seems most companies prefers cross-platform frameworks nowadays. One company wants me to develop their mobile app on iOS and Android while also help manage their AWS backend.

I’m not looking for new mobile dev jobs soon but the market for native looks like shit.

Please send those my way!

I have worked on mobile app (iOS and Android) and done full-stack web and app development.

When I apply for places the recruiter literally cannot fathom this "Um. So...Are you frontend or backend?" Both. "...But which one" BOTH "Which do you prefer?" I prefer a company that can handle the concept of someone who can and HAS done it all.

What is this magical ios/android/web full stack called?

I think this makes no sense, as web development is not the same as mobile app development.

I always thought fullstack meant front end and backend, not front end across multiple platforms.

They mentioned cross-platform frameworks. Things like React Native mean the same codebase can compile to web, Android, and iOS.

It’s mostly called full stack [app] developer, app is optional. It is mostly prevalent in internet of things jobs.

Many projects coming out of contractors are using React Native on Google Firebase.
