I have to create a small iWatch app. i am confused if I should go ahead with Xamarin WatchOS or swift. Can xamarin WatchOS be extended to android wear? what to go with?
No. WatchOS is an Apple SDK. Android uses the Wear SDK. They are two completely different things. You may be able to share some backend code between the two platforms using Xamarin.

this is an excellent way of extending xamarin into WatchOS.

Just wondering with the introduction of Mac Catalyst has anyone had any success or information on making their xamarin ios app run natively on the mac using this feature or would they just be using xamarin.mac?
Through this thread, it looks like the mac-catalyst of xcode11-feature has not been supported so far.
And you can follow this issue link to track the process of adding support for Catalyst.
Will be available with .NET 6 this Fall (2021). According to their plan.
I want to integrate Airwatch SDK 1.4.0.1 in one of my project, how can I integrate AWSDK in cross platform application which will support both iOS and android, or is there any work around to do it so.
While trying to integrate native SDK's that don't have nuget packages, you are entering the territory of Intermediate Xamarin Development. What you need to do is create "native bindings in C#".
There's many ways of doing it, and can take between 30 minutes to a 5 days to do. If you watch this video starting around 50:00, presented by the Lead of the Xamarin Components team, Jonathan Dick, you will learn one way of doing the entire binding process for iOS cocoa pods and Android Maven packages.
I am wondering Xamarin carries Mono runtime with its all app package. In this case, if two Xamarin based app installed in a device which will be having two Mono runtime right. Is it a limitation with Xamarin?
On iOS each app has its copy of the runtime. iOS does not allow for sharing of between apps.
On Android you have the ability to select whether or not to use a shared runtime, but this is generally recommended only for debugging, not production.

Thats the solution i tried withou sucess:
Remove ios, windows8, and wp8 from Xamarin Forms PCL - nuget 3.0 opt-into error?
Please help.
It doesn't really matter! It doesn't mean you are actually stuck with iOS in any way.
The only thing it means is that the set you have selected is also compatible with the libraries in Xamarin.iOS. So it means that you could create an iOS project without too much trouble if you would want to in the future.
If you do not create an iOS project, you won't get an iOS app.
