Has cobalt already supported Android platform or even windows at current stage? If not, would you plan to complete the cobalt on the above mentioned platforms?
Cobalt doesn't currently have Windows or Android support, and we haven't announced anything regarding these platforms.

The current official Xamarin website only supports iOS and Android:
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/transport-layer-security/
The same goes for ModernHttpClient PCL (iOS/Android only)
So is there anyway we can support TLS 1.2 for Windows 8.1 and UWP platforms? If Yes, please share and provided tutorial with source code
I am using Profile 111 for my PCL
Many thanks!
Xamarin is meant to cover iOS, Android and Mac. As long as you are working on a Windows based platform, you're working with Microsoft .Net. This means, there is no need for any additional tooling and no Xamarin/Mono involved here. As of .Net 4.6 (or was it 4.5 - I don't remember 100% sure) you'll get TLS 1.2 support.
The above is also true if you are using Xamarin.Forms to run your apps on Windows (Phone) 8.x or UWP.
May I ask about how to play the audio from Xamarin.Forms in Xamarin.Forms Portable?
As I known got Dependency Service , I saw a few sample that only got iOS and Android but does not had Windows Phone 8.1/Windows 8.1 and UWP.
This plugin (which I have never used) does support Mac, Android, iOS, and UWP but does not look like it currently supports WP 8.1 or Windows 8.1. You may be able to look through the code and get a better idea about how you could accomplish it on your own though for those platforms.

Now that Android 4.4.3 has been release it includes support for peripheral mode for devices. Does this allow for any Android device with 4.4.3 and Bluetooth LE to become an iBeacon.
If so, are there any libraries that support this? Are any in the works?
Sorry, 4.4.3 simply a bug fix release without a new revision of the Android SDK. Cross you fingers for a new SDK with Bluetooth LE peripheral mode support, which might be released at Google I/O in late June 2014.
I'm starting to develop a player for windows phone 8. I have a login on appHub and can access docs and tools for WP7 development. It seems that there are some differences between WP8 and WP7, e.g., WinRT APIs are used instead of Silverlight for player development. I wonder whether the development documents and sdks for WP8 are available now. Where can I get them?
Right now you only have SDK for Microsoft Surface.. The SDK for WP8 is still not available
the sdk for wp8 is still not available hence you won't be able to get any material for those now.
you just have to wait.
you could still continue to develop for wp7 in the meantime and port it over to wp8 later on when the sdk is release.
You can now download the WP8 SDK and documentation here:

I want to know whether phonegap plugin supports windows tablet development or not?
Unfortunately, it seems that right now phonegap does not support windows OS running on tablets.
There is an initial open source code developed by Intel to demo such capabilities, but it is "work in progress" and it doesn't seem to be "worked on" frequently.
