I think you’re touching on something extremely important here. IME, anecdotally, not backed up by data: experienced native Android devs are getting harder and harder to find. The ones I’ve known personally hated it so much they moved to backend or full stack jobs.

Interesting, I always thought it would be harder to hire iOS devs since the initial cost is higher - you need to buy a more expensive Apple computer and pay an yearly $99 subscription just to get started. For that reason I thought that there would be way more Android devs. After all, a teenager with a regular computer can start developing Android apps and download the APK in a cheap Android device without paying anything. On the other hand you mentioned _experienced_ native Android devs, while my thought applies more to junior Android devs, and maybe the two things don't correlate as well as expected.
