I cannot find an utility to fork the repository through GitHub app on my apple device. Pretty basic feature, am I missing something?
You’re correct. It’s a basic feature and I’m disappointed GitHub hasn’t provided that ability.

Does GitHub support Xcode's Storyboards?
If not, is there any version control system like Github that can deal with an app with storybards?
Git is a text based version control, storyboard is just an xml, so yes, Github supports it, but its bad practice since every little move will make a conflict
ShareKit is a really nice and easy sharing solution to knock off iPhone App project without frustrations for developers. However, it seems the original github repo is not updated and there are 40 pull requests are not merged. I also resolved a few issues by myself, like iOS5/iOS4 compatibility and Cancel Button bugs. But other developers solved issues and I guess they have their own brunches. So, who maintains the best ShareKit clone in github?

ShareKit 2.0 - it is a community effort that pulls together the best parts of the most popular forks.
i want to implement a chat functionality between two iOS devices.Please suggest me some libraries for the same.I went for XMPP but code is not available for that on repository.
Thanks,
You visit tutorial by RayWenderlich. Part1 and Part2. In this tutorial he has explained how to use webservice and PushNotification for chat kind of functionality.
You can also check Scringo. It's SDK offers chat between your app users.
Have you considered using push notifications?
You could use a service like Urban Airship so you don't have to roll your own push server, and they provide a pretty comprehensive iOS Framework which you could use to take advantage of their services.
You would of course still need some way of tracking who was talking with who so there would need to be some work on your part to build the necessary intermediary software/API, although this should be a pretty trivial task since all you'd need to do is keep a record of each of the device tokens in the conversation.
XMPP is still alive.. A newer version also came up...
You can download Version 2 directly here
To download Version 3 you have to download and install Mercurial repository and download it running this hg clone on the Mac Terminal...
I'd like to submit my app to the Cydia Store. It's going to be a paid package. Since I've never done other than free/opensource development, can somebody please explain how to do integration of my app with Cydia? Specifically, I'm curious if I have to check if the installed app instance is legit (DRM checking) (and if so, how to do it), or how handle the payment and purchase (or, did I misunderstood, but is there any standard options in Cydia to automate the purchase?).
There are numerous links tutorials available for that.
A nice one is

For questions about the Cydia Store system, a reliable source of answers is simply "contact your favorite default repository manager" - they've helped lots of developers figure this out, and you'll need to talk to one of them anyway to get your Cydia Store package published.
For people who haven't published packages on default repositories in Cydia before, these are your options:
BigBoss (managed by Optimo)
ModMyi (managed by Kyle and Tyler)
MacCiti (managed by MacCiti)
(If you aren't sure which to pick, find your favorite package author and ask for a recommendation.)
I want to implement PTAM(Parallel Tracking and Mapping) system in iPhone.
like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBI5HwitBX4
Does anyone know open-source project of PTAM or a sample code?
If you click the link in that YouTube video's description, there's a page with the source code for the demo. http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~gk/PTAM/
Hopefully, checkout this repo iPTAM on Github.
Though the repo is kind of outdated for now, it's a good starting point, the author basically ported the main part of PTAM to iOS.
