Ask HN: What Is the State of Mobile Development in 2025?
Ever since AI has become a thing, there is very little talk of mobile development.
Anything interesting in this space? What is currently trending in the mobile/app dev space? Languages/frameworks being used? How has mobile/app development evolved recently? What is your day to day work like now if you're focused purely on mobile/app dev. Career/work prospects?
You can also be eco-system specific e.g. Android/iOS
TL;DR:
* Kotlin with compose multi platform started catching up and winning the market.
* Apple got worried and started supporting Swift on android, not fully yet, UI only available with external tools.
* Qt with C++ still winning it all.
* People realizing that they don't need this Kotlin / Swift play started writing mobile apps in game engines: Unreal, Godot, Unity.
