I would like to use tesseract ocr for Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS applications.
I found the binding for iOS (https://github.com/jherby2k/Xamarin-Tesseract-OCR-iOS-Unified).
Is there an equivalent for Android ?
Yes, there is Tesseract for Android implementation. You can find it here. But you'll have to build it and create android bindings by yourself.
EDIT
I created Xamarin Android binding based on this project. You can find it here. There is a test project, just don't forget that you will need Tesseract testdata to be copied on the device.

How to achieve above using Xamarin?
You maybe can di that with the Embeddinator-4000 that creates native libraries of .NET libraries. https://github.com/mono/Embeddinator-4000
This can be done with Xamarin Forms Native Views
Is there a way to create a Xamarin or Xamarin.Forms solution that targets Android and classic Windows to produce a Windows 7,8,8.1,10 executable (exe)?
I am not interested in UWP.
Xamarin.Forms will support WPF in the future so you will be able to deploy an EXE file to those platforms. Read more about it here on the blog.
Also, you can always share the business logic, data and other layers with any other .NET application so having an Android app, Windows app and a core project that doesn't depend on Xamarin is perfectly fine.
You can already take a look at the WPF branch of the Xamarin.Forms project on GitHub.
I have to integrate one third party sdk in xamarin project.
They are providing the native sdk's for android and ios. I need to use them in Xamarin project to develop app for ios and android.
Xamarin offers in depth documentation for linking native libraries.
Linking native library iOS here and Binding a java Library here.
If you want to go further and use these sdk's in Xamarin.Forms you can make a wrapper in each platform dependent project and link them to your Forms project using Xamarin.Forms.DependencyService.
To use Firebase Crashlytics in your application follow the steps:

I'm new to Xamarin.
My goal is to develop an app for both Android and Windows phone platforms, without IOS. I dont have any mac to test.
Under the properties solution, I already tried to remove IOS from the targets platform, but doesn't allow me. It's mentioned that its
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.
I have a Xamarin iOS unified app.
I want to add a Xamarin form to it.
How can I do this?
Thanks,

-You can not do it directly.
-Create a Xamarin PCL project, it will create a shared project and native projects to iOS and Android
-You can add you Xamarin native project, necessary files to it
-Create a page renderer in Xamarin Forms Shared project
-Use it to load required page from native project
-Page renderer will act as a native page.You can call your native functions, UI from that point onwards.
Xamarin forms is a kind of project, not a form you can add to a project that is not xamarin forms
You can just add a new project of type Xamarin.Forms in your solution and you'll then have to port your code or share as much as possible through a PCL.
