MobileFirst 7.1 with Xamarin Forms - xamarin.forms

We are going to develop a Xamarin Forms application which needs to be connected with IBM MobileFirst 7.1. I know the available SDK is for MFP 8, Can we use the existing native SDK with Xamarin Forms?

The Xamarin SDK for MobileFirst 7.1 was previously available through the Xamarin Component Store which has now been discontinued by Microsoft.
The current Xamarin SDK for MobileFirst 8.0 is available as a common SDK for Windows & Xamarin via NuGet. To obtain the MobileFirst 7.1 SDK from IBM, please contact IBM support via a PMR /case.

Could not find SDK SQLite.WP80 Xamarin and Azure build error

I am building an Azure app with Xamarin.Forms in Visual Studio 2015. My app is happily using both "Azure Mobile Services SQLiteStore" and "Windows Azure Mobile Services" in the Android and iOS builds. However, I am trying to get the same to build and run on WinPhone with little luck. I have tried various things, but typically end up with the following error:
Could not find SDK "SQLite.WP80, version=3.8.7.2". C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets 1886
5 MyApp.WinPhone
Does anybody have a reliable set of instructions for getting Azure Mobile Services SQLiteStore operational on WinPhone 8.0 ?
In my case I had 2 problems
The reference to the SQLite for Windows Phone was missed in the WindowPhone App
As InitLipton said it's necessary to install SQLite for Windows Runtime depended on the windows phone version you are using (In my case was WP Runtime 8)
here are links of the runtime SDKs
WP Runtime 8
Windows Runtime 8.1

How to add Microsoft Band functionality to a Silverlight phone application?

Is there a way to integrate Microsoft Band with an existing Silverlight Windows Phone application? I have tried implementing an wrapper Windows Runtime Component for band functionality, but that does not seem to work.
The Microsoft Band SDK does not support Silverlight-based Windows Phone applications, only Windows Phone 8.1 (WinRT) based applications.

Is there a WinRT build of the Gracenote SDK that is universal?

There is a build for Windows 8.1 but it was not build as a universal PCL. Contacted support but they said to ask here, to get a response from the developers.
NOTE: by universal I mean, Windows Store universal, that work on WP8.1 and W8.1
The latest GNSDK for Mobile release should support WP8.1. Please download the one with platform "Windows Phone 8."
Gracenote SDK is a native library. It is not an application. Just like any other third party library (like sqlite - check https://sqlite.org/download.html),
it porvideds winrt and windows phone libs.
How do you build the library to run on phone and winrt both ? Can you post link from MSDN on how to do it ?. I dont think you can do this for libraries which has native component/s to it.
Gracenote window phone libs are built using visual studio 2012 and should work for both windows phone 8.1 and windows phone 8.0.
