If you hang around software engineers long enough you will notice a pattern that there are few mobile developers compared to web devs and this is a situation that is way too broad and hard to digest in this article.
However,  the new report from job-seeking platform Indeed has given aspiring mobile devs well enough reasons to take up the opportunity and market themselves as Android developers. Not only because the competition is low, but also employers are showing immense interest in hiring them as well.
According to the report, there have been fewer searches for iOS app developers as compared to Android app developers.
From May 2018 to May 2019, the search fell by 25.61% for iOS developers, whereas it has been 26.34% for Android developers. A decline of job searchers of mobile developer position by the job seekers has been witnessed on the job site, reducing by 32.89%.
Employers are now showing their interest in hiring mobile app developers, as an increase of 10.61% in Android Developer job posting have been noted in the study. Whereas there has been only a 1.79% increase in iOS devs job posting. On the whole, 4.93% rise in the mobile devs job posting has been seen on different platforms.
Skill Demand for Mobile Devs

The reason behind this gap is that devs think web development is a broader market as compared to mobile development. Also, one can easily switch from web development to mobile development. However, switching from mobile development to web development may not be that simple.
Almost half of the website traffic from mobile devices; thus, the trend of responsive websites is growing. Companies are focusing on developing mobile-friendly websites rather than apps.
Furthermore, Web development frameworks like React Native, Xamarin, and other hybrid options let web developers create simple apps easily. Also, from the consumers’ perspective, a number of apps used on the whole are affected, many people prefer to browse through a responsive site than download an app.
Another insight mentioned in the report was the growing demand for Kotlin programmers (89.41%). One primary reason behind it could be that it is easy to learn and use. It is one of the most-loved languages, on 4th position, as per the 2019 Stack Overflow survey.
