I'm currently looking into test frameworks that run UI-tests for Xamarin projects. I've narrowed it down to two options:
Xamarin.UITest
Appium
However, it's unknown what the minimal versions of iOS and Android are, which are supported in Xamarin.UITest. I've found an old form post that suggests there are indeed minimal versions. However, the answer that is given, redirects to the new Microsoft documentation which doesn't contain those versions.
Does anyone know the minimally supported versions of Android and iOS which Xamarin.UITest supports?
Edit
After the suggestion of James Lavery to contact App Center, i've got the following answer from Microsoft:
Hi There, Thanks for writing to us! Xamarin.UITest will support all version of Android and IOS, the only thing you need to check is the app which you are running in supported respective versions.
Please refer the below article the list of devices and respective versions we have

James Lavery has gotten the same answer!
The response I've had from Microsoft is:

If you have an App Center account, I suggest you contact the support team there (button at the bottom right of the portal screen). They respond pretty quickly.
If you don't have an App Center account, let me know and I'll pose the question for you.

I know iOS 7.0 introduced "Managed App Configuration", that makes it easy to support configuration of an enterprise application by a variety of MDM solutions.
Is there a similar thing in Android?
I noticed that in the Google For Work help section it is mentioned, but for the life of me, I could not find how to implement support for it.

Should I implement "App Restrictions" as mentioned here?
If so, how can I support devices with Android versions prior to Lollipop?
http://www.appconfigforenterprise.org/dev-center.html
There is a website called AppConfig. It explains how it works both in Android and iOS and describes the Development steps. I'm also new to this field, but yes, as far as I know you need to implement App Restrictions.
And here is the Developer Training from Google, about Android for Work.
I'm developing a mobile APP to record audio, save to file and then send to a server. I'm currently using SmartFace.io, cross platform application to create both Android and iOS mobile apps. Been researching but can't find the audio capabilities of such platform, the online API documentation doesn't include specifics and the media items have no detailed info.
I'm not a beginner, SmartFace looks good but can't find any info regarding what I need to do. I'm not so sure if a lot of people is using it.
What I've done:
- Tried using PhoneGap but couldn't make it work, a coworker with more experience on Phonegap struggled until one project worked, we discovered some libraries and versions collide
- Tried samples posted here but as some other users reported, didn't work
- Also tried the now dead Mosync but the C code provided on the now dead forum doesn't work (says platform not supported).
- I know Appcelerator have working samples but it's my last choice
- Found working projects for Android Studio but we are still trying to avoid specific work for each platform-app-IDE-framework
Thanks in advance
Smartface App Studio offers lots of ready to use components and libraries in it.
However, for current version it is not available to record an audio samples.

When submitting an Android app to the Blackberry App World for compatibility, it says my app uses features that are not compatible with current version of Blackberry Runtime for Android Apps. What should I do?
There is quite the list of unsupported features on Blackberry's site.
If they won't give you more details on what you're using that's unsupported, that list is a good starting point.
There are also some downloadable tools that can help you verify things locally and possibly give you more details on what's wrong.
There are similar questions like this uptill Android 2.3 sdk on Stackoverflow. But as per the answers it was not supported back then. I have even seen a feature request ticket for it with Google but it is still pending!
With the recent release of 4.0 sdk, does any one know if it is now possible to simulate the multi-touch feature in the emulator? If yes, please do information on how to do it.
Thanks in advance!
Multitouch in the emulator is still unsupported and has not been announced as a planned feature. This would most likely come as an update to the SDK tools and not the operating system itself so the Android Tools recent changes feed is probably the best place to follow for any news on this feature.
Was wondering if anyone knew of some third party android development toolkits.
I have found Basic4Android.
Was wondering what other options are available.Language does not matter.
Thanks
Qt for Android (Alpha version) got launched last week.
Motorola has a custom dev environment built on top of eclipse (MOTODEV). It is not Motorola specific and you can use it for regular development. I have been playing around with it for a week and it is much more convenient than the standard Android Eclipse plugin.
EDIT: Forgot to mention there is AppInventor (currently in Beta) which is a drag and drop development environment from Google. It is a useful tool if you want to get a feel for development or you are developing just for your phone. It does not generate Java code (as yet) and there some restrictions on it like only single screen apps are supported. It has got a healthy community and lot of college students (in the U.S) seem to be using it.
MonoDroid is also another development stack for Android using C# and .NET API's. You can use Microsoft Visual Studio IDE to develop applications using MonoDroid.
