Is there any Sample or blogs available which talks about Xamarin.Forms & Google Drive integration? I have read google docs and i can understand there is no official support as of now. But any alternate approach or workaround is appreciated.
As you have mentioned there is no official libraries available for Xamarin.Forms & Google drive, but you can access gdrive using .Net nugets with some more platform specific codes in xamarin.forms. I have written a blog about it read it here. Hope that blogs helps !

Does PRISM for Xamarin Forms support the newer Shell / URI based navigation API?
Thanks in advance!
Currently, there is no support for Shell (and navigation) with Prism in Xamarin.Forms. For future investigation and news about this topic, there is an open issue on the Prism Library GitHub repository.
You can find it here, and you can also read the discussions about these topics.

I'm trying to develop a tutorial site similar to Google CodeLabs.
I'm referring to this article for develop a CodeLabs site.
Has anyone tried to used this tool for hosting their own CodeLabs site?
You can use the source code to create CodeLabs in your own machine.
You will need Go Lang for this or you can use the provided installers in the release section of Github.
Refer to https://github.com/googlecodelabs/tools/blob/master/claat/README.md
On the official documentation of Firebase Authentication, the guide is only available on how you can get the googleAccessToken on native Android & iOS. No solution is available for Unity on their official guide.
The closest solution I have found is to use the Google Play Services plugin for Unity to get the access token, which is not a good solution for the cross-platform as the following plugin is deprecated on the iOS platform. So yah, your code will not work on iOS.
Also, I believe it's an expensive solution to add a plugin for a "googleIdToken".
This process is complicated and Firebase documentation is not helping.
To address this issue Google recently released Google Sign-In plugin for Unity.
You can find detailed instructions on the read me file.

The fire base documentation seems to have a unity SDK to achieve what you're wanting to do.
You then include the GoogleService-Info.plist for ios.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/unity/setup
https://firebase.google.com/docs/unity/setup#add_the_sdk_to_your_app
the GoogleService-Info.plist for ios is in your google console.
