Why we read it this way (6)
The Basic Qualifications require '2+ years programming experience in languages such as Objective-C, UIKit, Swift, Java, Kotlin' — this is a single interchangeable gate on mobile programming language experience; Objective-C is listed as the primary with the others as alternatives.
UIKit is mentioned in the qualifications as part of the language list ('Objective-C, UIKit, Swift…') rather than as a standalone framework skill; it is subsumed within the iOS/Swift ecosystem and not emitted as a separate skill.
All skills under 'Suggested Skills' (Objective-C, Swift, iOS toolchains, Xcode, Linux/macOS, relational databases) are listed in a non-gating 'Suggested Skills' section, so they are marked preferred.
The role is hybrid (not fully remote), based at a LinkedIn office; the San Francisco Bay Area CBSA is inferred from LinkedIn's headquarters in Sunnyvale/Mountain View and the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance reference.
The BA/BS requirement accepts 'equivalent practical experience,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
The preferred qualifications call for 4+ years of relevant experience; the hard gate is 2+ years from Basic Qualifications, so the overall years minimum is set to 2.
