How to communicate mobile (Xamarin) with a desktop Application (.NET)

Is it possible to send some kind of message from mobile app (developed using Xamarin.forms with C#) to a desktop application (developed using VB.net or C#)? I would like to send messages from mobile to desktop app. I was thinking on using Bluetooth or maybe WIFI protocol
Other idea that I was thinkin is making desktop application to use a rest service, then also make mobile app to use same rest server. In this way It could be possible to create some kind of bridge between these techs.
Do you have any example or any experience on this?
You can create a web API https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-api/overview/older-versions/build-restful-apis-with-aspnet-web-api then host it on your desktop/laptop. That would be the channel between your mobile app and your desktop app.

Yes it is possible, when configuring your project with the Marketplace SDK, you need to specify the url of your application. Check this documentation.
Here you can find information on the services and authentication of users with Google.
Hope this helps.

Running an app on Azure and protecting signups

I'm about to finish an app that will run on Windows Phone and Android. It uses an azure web API and push notification service.
I was wondering if there is any standard or recommended way of protecting the 'signup' or 'register' functionality within an app like this? I note that some popular apps like snapchat will send you a text to verify the registration process. That would be ideal but obviously seems unfeasible for a modest app such as mine :-)
Can anyone enlighten me to some common ways to protect the 'register' functionality of a mobile app?
Thanks for any help!
Azure provides feature sets like Azure Mobile Services that provide authentication features that you can use in your Windows Phone apps. I doubt the authentication Azure Mobile Services uses is restricted to just Azure Mobile Services, but more information on getting started with this authentication can be found here:

Messenger connect desktop API for Windows Phone 7

Is there Messenger Connect API for Windows Phone 7 to use in Silverlight phone application to allow user authentication with windows live id and get a user consent to share profile data with my app? It all works great for PC desktop app or ASP.Net. I want the same experience for my users with the phone: login using windows live id and access the same data they can access on their desktop through a web site or desktop app. The backend is, obviously, multi-tenant, one database, many app users - everyone sees his own data based on his windows live id.
Nick Randolph demonstrated some interaction with the messenger api's here if you'd like to check it out.

Mojo Messaging Service - Device URL

Does anyone know the URL for using the Mojo messaging service with the device. I can get it to work with the emulator from Google App Engine and .NET but it does not work on the device. I've read in some other forums that it may be related to the URL.
Anyone have any information. The URL I am currently using is https://ps15.sb.palm.com/palmcsext/services/deviceJ/publish
Per the docs http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1671 :
The Mojo Messaging service is
currently in beta and is not yet
available for production deployments.
Developers with apps nearing readiness
should contact Palm developer support
to inquire about deploying as part of
the beta program.
This means that it only works on the emulator because its running a developer version of the ROM for beta testing - against developer/beta servers. There is not currently a developer ROM available for the devices, so you can test this on the devices at the moment. The production ROM runs against different messaging servers that are not available .. yet.
