Get in touch with us nowFlutter is the most popular cross-platform mobile framework used by global developers, according to a 2023 developer survey. Based on the survey, 46 percent of software developers used Flutter. On the whole, roughly one third of mobile developers use cross-platform technologies or frameworks; the rest of mobile developers use native tools.
Simply put, cross-platform mobile frameworks are used to generate an app that is accessible through a large number of various end devices. A single code is used across multiple platforms for easy portability, and in the end the cost of software development is kept low. With cross-platform mobile frameworks, there is the possibility of maximum exposure to the target audience. For example, a single app can target both iOS and Android platforms, which maximizes the app’s reach.
In 2022, there were 26.4 million software developers worldwide. The number of developers is expected to grow in the coming years, especially due to the rise of app and web development in the growing digital age. Of the various kinds of software developers, mobile developers are among the lowest on the developer pay scale. Mobile developers on average make an annual salary of over 124,000 U.S. dollars, while engineering managers are the highest-paid software developers with an annual average salary of 96,000 U.S. dollars.
