I am reading that WCF is becoming obsolete, but no mentioning about what should be used for SOAP protocols in these cases. Is WCF our only option in .NET? To my understanding WEB API does not support SOAP.

Really? Maybe someone should tell the thousands of public and private enterprises around the world which rely on it every day.
Is WCF our only option (for SOAP) in .NET?
No. For example, ServiceStack supports SOAP.
To my understanding WEB API does not support SOAP
Your understanding is correct.

I have been reading a lot of articles in regards to security and other parties reverse engineering your app and then flooding your APIs etc.
For my current (nativescript) app I am using Firebase for Auth and then have my own API URL hardcoded into the app.
I am considering using Firebase Remote Config to retrieve my API URL and then setting it in the app. In order to not have my API URL exposed.
I was wondering if someone has done this before? And if this approach is a good or bad idea?
Thanks. Robert

I am working on a Cordova app. I would like to know if I can continue with ASP.NET webapi at the server side or can I use SignalR.
Which one is better and why. What are the pros and cons. Please provide as much information as possible.
Thanks in advance.
SignalR is for real-time bi-directional communication. WebAPI uses request/response that is initiated by the client.
So there is no "better" one as they serve different purposes.

One year ago, Microsoft announced the "helios" project (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2014/02/18/introducing-asp-net-project-helios.aspx). Since then, there has been no updates on it's nuget package and no related news. Is it safe to start using it or is it dead?
ASP.NET users have been using Katana for a long while as it empowers the latest Web API and SignalR releases from Microsoft. Helios was an addition to that map initially.
They (Katana and Helios) will, however, not be heavily updated, as ASP.NET 5 uses a different design approach. Microsoft people said this unofficially in a few places, and should provide a better explanation when ASP.NET 5 is officially released.

I'm working on developing API requirements. oData looks very promising. However, searching for oData turns up results primarily related to ASP.NET. Is oData widely accepted by the development community, (meaning php, Python, Ruby, etc.) or is it primarily used by Microsoft devs?
Thanks,
TK
OData initially was an Microsoft project but now an OASIS standard and working towards becoming an ISO standard. Besides Microsoft, OData is also adopted in many different companies like SAP, IBM and etc, you can check part of the OData ecosystem at http://www.odata.org/ecosystem/. Also there are library support in various platforms including PHP, Python, Ruby and etc, please check at http://www.odata.org/libraries and you can search OData in GitHub.

I have basic knowledge of asp.net and i want develop the project.So m confused between Wcf and asp.mvc which is good for my project. i read description of both but cant get solution. could someone please help me as soon as possible.
project description- collection of data from different site(location) through wireless communication(gprs communication) and store the data on oracle 10G. and i want show the history reports and trends .
how i show reports? like in windows application (crystal report and rdlc)
WCF is rest service while asp.net MVC is web development technique. So if you want expose services then you can move WCF or WEB API else will move to ASP.NET MVC.
