Are there any examples/GitHub projects/documents available online to integrate Zebra Barcode Scanning SDK into Xamarin Forms App for both iOS and Android ?
Moreover, Can we install our own Xamarin Forms App on Zebra Rugged Barcode Scanners ? If so what are the device types ?
The best resource for a Xamarin Forms app that demonstrates barcode scanning on a Zebra device is https://github.com/Zebra/Inventory and you can find links to the associated blog post in the README. That sample app uses DataWedge and not the scanning SDK which is the recommended approach for new applications. The app itself will work on iOS but will only capture barcodes on Zebra Android devices - if you also want it to capture barcodes on iOS or consumer Android devices then you will need to add that separately.

Is it possible to use Firebase Push Notifications with the Uno Platform? There are some samples on how to do this with Xamarin Forms, but I could not find anything specific to Uno Platform (or MAUI for that matter).
Yes
The iOS and Android heads of Uno Platform apps are the same as classic Xamarin apps.
You can setup push notifications the same way you would with a regular Xamarin.iOS or Xamarin.Android with the SDK of your choice (like Firebase, OneSignal, etc.).
We would like to use Agora to develop a chat section in our Xamarin Forms App like this. Chat will also support voice messages, calls and video calls. On Agora's when I look at SDKs available there are various options like Flutter, ReactJS, Windows, Android, iOS and so on but I can't find Xamarin Forms as platform. On the web I found some NUGET packages like this for Xamarin Forms support, they look official but can't verify it. I found an example on github here, but It is for video calls and not RTM.
Please help!
In PowerApps there is the very useful Barcode Scanner control. But it's available only on iOS or Android. Do some ways exist to use this control to scan QR-codes via a canvas app on a Windows 10 tablet?
Based on Microsoft documentation, The barcode scanner control is only supported on Android and iOS devices. All other platforms will show a warning that some features of the app won't work.
If you have windows 10 tablet, you can test your app and check if you have any limation since not all features are guaranteed to work.

I m using VS2017 for Xamarin forms app development. With VS2017,I can use Android simulator and I can deploy the simple xamarin forms hello app to my Physical Android phone(after doing some settings on the android phone).
My problem now is How do I deploy my same Xamarin Forms hello app in VS2017 in my Windows 10 PC to an iOS device? right now, I have a macBook Pro and iphone6. I try the mac agent but this only for iOS simulator.
Please help. any link or help is very much appreciated.
Update 1:
The confusing part is App ID. Say, I created an AppID in Apple Portal called MySwiftDemo and on mac i created a dummy app with Bundle Id : com.FunProject.MyFirstSwiftDemo which I used it in AppID required by the Apple Portal
and I created XF-app in VS call MyVSFirstApp and this is the actual app will be deployed to iOS-device.
1) The app name in Mac and VS are not the same. So the provisioning file is referring everything from mac, Is it ok without Xamarin app name?
2) If I have another Xamarin forms app call My2ndApp to deploy to iOS device, do I need to create another AppID on Apple Portal and Bundle ID on mac?
Thanks

Can we add a Apple Watch extention to a xamarin forms app (cross platform app) ?
I have searched on google and seen info only on xamarin.ios with Apple Watch but not with xamarin forms cross platform.
Yes you can, but you must write this in your platfrom specific project. this means the ui and logic must be written in the native code. If you use a mvvm framework you can share some code across platforms.
