Apple's Healthkit for crossplatform - cross-platform

After a thoroughly research it seems I can't find a way to integrate HealthKit on a cross platform application as it seems it doesn't provide a REST API and the code has to be exclusively written in either objective-c/swift.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there really no way to retrieve the data from healthkit on a cross platform app?

You're not missing anything. HealthKit data is stored exclusively on the user's iPhone, not in the cloud accessible from a web service.

how to access UCWA API in android code?

I want to access UCWA API in android code. Is it possible?.
If possible, pls give me an idea and hello world program.
does UCWA API support for Video Chat and Screen Sharing?
Yes, UCWA is a REST based API, so there's no reason why you wouldn't be able to access it from an Android app. Your best bet is to look through the samples on http://ucwa.lync.com/
There are no known Java libraries available, so you have to do all of that on your own. Paul's link is a good place to start, however you might also find the MS pages on a C# implementation useful(1), they certainly are cleaner than the Javascript based samples at http://ucwa.lync.com/
As for supporting video chat and screen sharing, the answer for now seems to be no. UCWA may be able to initiate these on the users Lync client though.

WCF Rest Service with Cross Platform(PCL)

I apologize if this question asked before. I am still trying and not able to understand how to work with Cross Platform (PCL)support. We are developing an application to support iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices. We need to use same set of code (services,view-model and model) for all the above mentioned devices.
We need to use JSON data returned from Rest service.
Kindly provide us sample projects that call REST services with serialization using shared code which will work across different platforms(iOS,Android & Windows Phone)
This page here, has some examples of exactly what you are looking for.

Shared data between iOS devices

I'm developing an internal iOS cocoa app, in which multiple devices need to connect and read/write to a data connection. It will be similar to an inventory application.
Would this be best done using a server-side SQLLite communicator or some other kind of server-side data store? Or is there a method i don't know of that multiple devices can share data.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
A third-party service possibly worth checking out is Parse.
With Parse, you can add a scalable and powerful backend in minutes and launch a full-featured app in record time without ever worrying about server management. We offer push notifications, social integration, data storage, and the ability to add rich custom logic to your app’s backend with Cloud Code.
Depending upon the complexity and assuming that all devices can be connected to the same icloud account you could utliize icloud for this.

Nokia Counter on WP7

I downloaded Nokia Counters and I dont understand how do they get sms count and call durations if there is no API that could support this?
Do they have any extra APIs?
Most likely they have deeper access. After all, it is only for their devices which means that they can not only exit sandbox, but access their own proprietary API.
It is similar to Youtube app, Adobe Reader app and deep links to marketplace.
I would really want to get access to such API :/

How to called google earth function using vb

i build a software using vb , and now , i want to call some function in google earth ,
what can i do ,
thanks
The Google Earth API is JavaScript based, so it doesn't matter what your server is written in; just write the JavaScript you want in your client web-pages.
If you are not writing a web page, this is probably the wrong API. For rich clients, consider things like MapPoint.
If you are using winforms then you could always add the type library and then call the COM functions as required.
http://earth.google.com/comapi/
That said the COM API is now depreciated so developing for it might be a waste of time...

It is now recommended to use the javascript api for Google Earth applcations - you can see an example control library for windows applications using the js api here, it is .NET but c# rather than VB -
http://code.google.com/p/winforms-geplugin-control-library/
Google seems determined to push people off the COM API, as every "link" to documentation gets redirected to the same "Sunset for the Google Earth COM API" Google Geo Developers Blog.

I'm curious why Google hasn't developed a better and clearer API to GE. I presume it's something marketing related. It seems to me they'd really capture a larger development audience with a straight-forward, simplistic API. I find some of the calls a little head scratching.
In any event, has someone created any kind of .NET wrapper class to abstract the JS API? I've been rooting around looking for one, but so far no go.
