Mobile application development is a rapidly and continually evolving field. There have been dramatic changes, in some case complete paradigm shifts, in the underlying technologies. But what about mobile application development courses? Have they kept pace with those changes? In the summer of 2021, mobile application development instructors were surveyed to examine what content is being taught, what technologies are being used, and what pedagogies have been selected. This paper provides a description of how mobile application development technologies have evolved since the last major survey on the subject nearly a decade ago, then describes the findings of our survey. Results of this research will be of particular benefit to instructors who are a) tasked with designing a course on mobile application development; b) currently teaching a course and interested in ensuring that their curricula remain relevant/appropriate, and c) making an argument for resources to improve the classroom experience.
