Should I include App Store links on my resume?

Yes, for public apps you worked on. A link lets a reviewer install the app. Put it on the project name or the company line.

Can I apply for iOS roles with React Native experience?

Often, yes, but describe native work honestly. Bullets about native modules, Xcode builds or Swift bridging help; claiming Swift you haven't written does not.

What if my app had few users?

Use other numbers: crash-free rate, start time, test coverage or release cadence. A small, real, published app still counts.

What should an Android developer resume include?

Kotlin (and Java if used), Jetpack Compose or XML views, architecture patterns like MVVM, and shipped apps with Play Store links, downloads, ratings or crash-free rates.

How to write a mobile app developer resume (iOS, Android, React Native)

By Mubeen Jawed, founder of ResumeForDev · Updated November 7, 2026

Short answer

A mobile app developer resume should show the apps you shipped and how they performed for real users. Name the platform and UI framework in each bullet (Swift and SwiftUI, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, React Native), and add the numbers mobile teams track: active users or installs, crash-free rate, app start time, app size and store rating. Link the App Store or Google Play listing when the app is public. Keep it to one page and group skills by platform.

Key points

Lead with shipped apps and their scale: users, installs, rating.
Stability and speed numbers (crash-free rate, cold start) are mobile's best metrics.
Name the platform and UI framework in the bullet.
Link store listings so a reviewer can install what you built.

What mobile hiring managers check

Mobile teams want proof that you've shipped to the stores and handled what comes after: crashes on old devices, review rejections, slow starts, offline states, and releases that can't be rolled back quickly. Bullets that mention those details read as real production experience.

Before and after

Before:Developed features for the company's iOS app.

After:Rebuilt onboarding in SwiftUI for an iOS app with 250k monthly users, cutting sign-up drop-off from 38% to 24% and raising crash-free sessions from 99.1% to 99.7%.

Platform, UI framework, scale and two results in one sentence.

Mobile metrics you can find

Where mobile bullets get their numbers
Metric	Where to find it	Example phrasing
Crash-free users or sessions	Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry, Xcode Organizer, Play Console	raised crash-free sessions to 99.8%
App start time	Xcode Instruments, Android vitals	cut cold start from 2.9s to 1.2s
App size	App Store Connect, Play Console	reduced download size by 30%
Active users and installs	Product analytics, store consoles	used by 80k daily active users
Store rating	App Store, Google Play	rating rose from 3.9 to 4.6 after the redesign

Skills grouped by platform

iOS: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Combine, XCTest
Android: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, Room
Cross-platform: React Native, TypeScript, Expo
Tooling: Fastlane, Firebase, Crashlytics, GitHub Actions

Keep only the groups you've shipped with. An iOS engineer who did one Flutter tutorial should leave Flutter off.

Apps you published yourself

A published app, even a small one, is strong evidence: it shows you handled signing, review and release. Link the store page and give one number, such as installs or rating. If it isn't public, link the repo and a short demo video.

On ResumeForDev, set your target role to “Mobile Engineer”. Without a job post, the keyword check compares your resume against a mobile vocabulary. Paste a job description and the keyword check uses that post's terms instead; on Pro, the writer also tailors the bullets to it. Before writing, it asks follow-up questions about the numbers above, and it removes any number or skill you never gave it. Your first resume is free.
