I've been researching how I can do App-Chat with twilio-conversations in react native, but I haven't found anything that can help me.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
I have been told by the Conversations team that the Conversations JS SDK has been tested with React Native and is the recommended approach for using Conversations in React Native.
This is the approach taken in the Twilio Frontline app.
Twilio usually provides both JavaScript and IOS/Android SDKs. But when talking React Native there is no direct support from Twilio as far as I know. You can try to use the JavaScript SDK (npm) but I doubt you'll be successful as it probably relies on the browser API. Your best bet is probably to have a look at the TwilioChatJsReactNative example which uses twilio-chat (it's linked on the Demo / Reference Client Applications section of the Programmable Chat Client SDKs). That has the downside that Programmable Chat support will run out mid-2022.

I just saw that facebook account kit is being deprecated. There isn't much information about what's the reason behind its depreciation or what could be the next steps/alternatives.
Does anyone know why they deprecated it? Any technical insights/learnings?
What are the alternatives now? or are they planing any successor of it?
Yes, As per official statement : from September 9, 2019: Account Kit will stop integrating with new apps. Existing integrations will continue to function normally.

Does anyone know why they deprecated it? Any technical
insights/learnings?
"The product has yielded high maintenance costs, but relatively low adoption". Read full details here.
What are the alternatives now? or are they planing any successor of
it?
They not announce any successor for it as far as i know, but there are many other alternatives available as open source which obviously have certain limitations. What I am using currently will mention here.
True Caller SDK : It require true caller app to be installed in user device.
Firebase Phone Authentication
Third Party SMS API : Obviously, it would be a paid api, Many service providers are available in market. I am not promoting any one here but one is suggested by google itself here called twilio. Just a extra point : In this 3rd case, for understanding the flow "SMS Retriever API" may worth reading for some one.

I am developing an app for IOS and need MQTT client, I searched and there are similar questions asking which client to use for iOS, paho c client seems to be popular choice, but some people are suggesting that apple doesn't approve c clients for communication stuff. i have 2 questions.
1) which is most reliable/mature/complete MQTT client lib for iOS.
2) is it approved by apple and they will accept app that uses it.
I would prefer native objective-c libraries if they are available.
The 'MQTT Client Framework' is rock stable and is used e.g. in the iOS version of Owntracks. It has a lot of features compared to other libraries. The Owntracks app is available in the iOS App Store, so I guess Apple accepts this framework.
You can find a detailed blog post about the usage of the library written by the author here: http://www.hivemq.com/mqtt-client-library-encyclopedia-mqtt-client-framework/

I'm trying to build a basic social iOS app in the new iOS 6 beta as a proof-of-concept project to improve my iOS development skills. In essence I want to allow users to generate an account, store some info in the cloud, and then be able to pull their info (and that of their friends) into the device. I already have a front end roughed in on the device but I now need to start the networking component and am looking for suggestions for any libraries, frameworks, tutorials and/or guidelines to use.
I was thinking of building the server end with node.js and mongodb as I already have a RESTful API built on them which I can adapt to this task. Is this the best way to accomplish such an app? I'm open to any suggestions.
A couple more networking library suggestions:
1) AFNetworking - https://github.com/afnetworking/afnetworking . This is widely used (more so now that ASIHttpRequest has stopped development). It is modern and block-based. However, it is not ARC yet.
2) MKNetworkKit - https://github.com/MugunthKumar/MKNetworkKit . Modern and ARC based.
I switched all my apps from ASIHttpRequest to AFNetworking and highly recommend it.
All the frameworks mentioned so far (ASIHttpRequest, RESTKit, AFNetworking, MKNetworkKit) will talk to a node.js/restful API backend just fine.
The most common and popular libraries to handle network connections are ASIHTTPRequest: http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/ and RESTKit: http://restkit.org . I am using RESTKit right now as a component of the Salesforce library. I used ASIHTTPRequest in the past and found it to be a very good library. I haven't used it in a while but i highly recommend it.
Edit: I would also reccomend CocoaRestClient to test your APIs.

I'm developing a project for the iPad. My project is for a medical representatives. I need to populate their appointments, samples sold, to be delivered samples, etc.
I have to work with Cloud interface. For this I have got 2 words which I have to work with.
SalesForce
ZKSForce
I can see documentation about how to use this. But I want to know what is this? What is the purpose of using this.
Why to use SalesForce? Is ZKSForce a free library? Is there any other library apart from ZKSForce?
I need information about these two.
zkSforce is an open source cocoa library that accesses the salesforce.com SOAP api, You could use that or you could use the iOS Mobile SDK which uses the salesforce.com REST api.

I'm having lots of trouble setting up the RestKit API to my app. I wonder if there is any other good API to make RESTful apps? I've just followed lots of tutorials and the github directory of the RestKit API, but I just can't get it up and running. I've seen that Xcode 4 is having problems importing this API.
This is an old question, Nowadays, after 4 years in iOS development I use AFNetworking: https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking
It is quite simple to start, and can be installed using cocoapods.
I use ASIHTTPRequest for RESTful client stuff in my apps.
You can use rest kit api for that.
You find the details about the rest kit in followings link
https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit
I can suggest standard iOS classes such as NSURLConnection and NSJSONSerialization.
Here is a series of posts that explains how to use Blocks to asynchronously perform Http requests against a RESTful API:
