If my game targets both Windows, Xbox, and Windows Phone - is the API supported on Windows Phone? or should I do a check and if it's Phone not use the APIs?
You can use the Xbox Live API with any Windows 10 UWP project which includes Windows 10 Phone. There are no restrictions other than your internet access to connect to the service.
If your game is based on C++ just incorporate the NuGet package like described here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/games/xbox/docs/xboxlive/get-started/creators/getting-started-uwp-vs-creators
If your game is based on C# it is a little bit more complicated as you have to include the existing API source files by yourself. You will find the source code here: https://github.com/Microsoft/xbox-live-api-csharp

I have a gwt developed website that already runs 100% client-side (by which I mean no server-side javascript is used)
As one of the options for windows universal app development is javascript, is it possible to somehow turn a online gwt app into a offline uwp one?
I am aware there are solutions to package websites together with browser+installer, but if windows can run js 'natively' now (I assume via Edge) it seems a better route.
You can use UWP Javascript project from Visual Studio. This project allows you to add any HTML/CS/JS requires files. You can also use the Hosted model, where your files are downloaded from a URL (but then the app will require connectivity).
I've not tried the scenario, but I don't see any impediments, it should work.
Is there (or is possible) a standard Powershell or commandline in Modern UI in Win 8.x?
It would be pretty nice to have this app "docked" on a part of screen only (for SSH, etc...) and other desktop apps still could be in fullscreen.
You couldn't do this directly. The PowerShell engine isn't available on WinRT. You might be able to do something like create a WinRT app that uses sockets to communicate to a service on the localhost that executes PowerShell for you and returns the results. That would require you to build that service and install it on machines. If this is for a Windows RT device that won't work because only Microsoft can install desktop apps.
I use MongoDb in my Windows Phone project, and I want to connect MongoDB.Bson.dll and MongoDB.Driver.dll. But I have error "Can not add a link because the project was not built with runtime Windows Phone. Projects Windows Phone can only work with assemblies Windows Phone". I add with button Add reference.. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.
Take a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16151351/how-can-i-use-mongodb-in-windows-phone-project. There is no MongoDB driver for Windows Phone, you need to wrap your MongoDB with a server-side API and make the Windows Phone app communicate with the API.
I have retail POS (Place of service) system implemented in .net and java swing versions. This is desktop application. Is it possible to integrate this into Web portal/application using some EAI/ middleware tools? or is there any approach to make it online with out redeveloping UI?
What kind of integration are you talking about? If about accessing data from/to then that should be feasible and there can be plenty of approach/tools/solutions for the same.
or is there any approach to make it
online with out redeveloping UI?
You can look at virtualized applications/desktops solutions (e.g Citrix XenApp, VMware Desktop as Service) where your desktop applications can be made available over internet.
Can winform C# applications run from citrix?
If the application is kept on Citrix server, can it be viewed in windows OS machines?
Will the same be viewable via iPad?
-Karthick
The only real issue I've seen with home-grown .Net apps on Citrix is the occasional problem with code access security.
Yes to all of your questions.
Winform applications can be written in C# and run on Citrix
Once you publish the application it can be run on windows OS via the Citrix client. It will appear that the app is running locally.
Right now there is a client for the iPad available in the app store. Using this you should be able to connect to your apps via Citrix
I don't see why it wouldn't run on Citrix. If the corresponding framework is installed on the Citrix servers, it will run on it.
I don't know about iPad, since I believe it has to be from the App Store, but maybe.
Of course yes to all of your questions, Citrix is only an environment.
