When android and ios were taking off, I'd see job requirements saying 8 to 10 years experience in Android development.

It hadn't been out 8 to 10 years.

Oddly a very common occurrence. It was normally one or a combo of 3 impossible things:

Experience needed with a thing that has not existed for the time asked for (like your example)
Experience needed with a thing that does not exist at all (typos or just full on bullshit like "5 years in QQR8F deployment")
Or my favourite, Experience needed in a tool/program that is only used by the company like our proprietary call management software.
