What should be minimal defined stack to be called Full Stack Developer. I read this

please add layers or components Thanks

It's going to differ based on your problem domain, and one of the defining characteristics of a good full-stack dev is that they're going to know that and prompt you to elaborate on your problem domain before choosing a tech stack.

Instead, look for people that have shipped working solutions to problems, from the ground up, without worrying too much about the particular tech they use.

You are considered a full-stack dev if you're able to build and ship the basic layers that form a working app:

- Front-end (UI)

- Back-end

- Database

The prime example of a full-stack framework is Meteor, where you have all those 3 parts already pieced together and it's fairly easy to use (everything is JS)

What about Android and iOS apps?
