Get your mobile developer resume past ATS screening. Paste any job description below, get your keyword match score, and generate a tailored CV in 60 seconds.
These keywords appear most frequently in mobile developer job descriptions. Missing even a few can drop your ATS score below the screening threshold.
Hard and soft skills that mobile developer ATS systems look for
Common mistakes that cause mobile developer resumes to fail ATS screening
Specify platform separately: list 'iOS', 'Android', and 'React Native' as distinct keywords even if you work on all three
Include both 'Swift' and 'SwiftUI', both 'Kotlin' and 'Jetpack Compose' - ATS treats these as independent keywords
Quantify app reach: 'app has 500k+ MAU', 'maintained 4.8-star rating across 12k reviews', 'reduced crash rate from 2.1% to 0.4%'
Include 'App Store Connect' and 'Google Play Console' - these signal release ownership experience that many JDs filter on
Add 'push notifications', 'deep linking', and 'in-app purchases' if applicable - these are explicit ATS keywords in consumer app JDs
List 'Fastlane' and your CI/CD setup - DevOps awareness is increasingly required for senior mobile roles
Apply based on your actual experience. For iOS-only roles, lead with Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, and CoreData. For cross-platform roles, lead with React Native or Flutter experience. Applying with a native-only resume for a React Native role will score low in ATS because the keyword sets barely overlap. Use ATS CV Checker to see your match score before applying and decide where to focus.
Both are growing, but they dominate different markets. React Native is more common at larger tech companies already using JavaScript/TypeScript stacks. Flutter is increasingly popular at startups and companies that need fast cross-platform development. Native Swift and Kotlin still dominate at companies with large, mature mobile teams (banks, Apple-adjacent products). Check ATS CV Checker against specific JDs to see which keywords matter most.
Include both technical and product metrics: 'reduced app launch time by 43%', 'cut battery consumption by 20%', 'achieved 99.8% crash-free sessions', '500k monthly active users', '4.8 App Store rating'. Also include release cadence: 'shipped 2-week sprint releases across iOS and Android for 18 months'. Both ATS and hiring managers respond to these concrete data points.
'Mobile developer' signals cross-platform capability and is the right title if you work with React Native, Flutter, or both native platforms. 'iOS Developer' or 'Android Developer' signals deep platform-specific expertise and is preferred by companies with large single-platform teams. Match the title in your resume headline exactly to what's in the job description for the highest ATS title match score.
List both. SwiftUI is the future and most new projects use it, but a massive amount of existing codebases still use UIKit. Many JDs require UIKit familiarity even when targeting SwiftUI for new features. Senior iOS roles often require both. ATS systems match on each independently, so list 'SwiftUI', 'UIKit', and 'UIKit to SwiftUI migration' if you have that experience.
