I'm considering investing in a course to learn Flutter (Google's UI toolkit for crafting beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase).
Is it possible to integrate Flutter with the Microsoft Intune App SDK?
Does anyone have a sample code/functional application of this integration?

Has anyone tried Android development using Microsoft Graph SDKs?
What is the preferred SDK for Android? There are two SDKs available - one for Java (msgraph-sdk-java) and one separately for Android (msgraph-sdk-android) and its very confusing to choose between two. No appropriate documentation available as well!
Sorry for the confusion Samhith. We are in the process of deprecating the Android SDK in favour of the Java SDK for Android. The docs here should have mentioned the correct configuration for using Java. That's on me to fix.
There is an example of creating a client for Android here but you are absolutely correct that the guidance is not clear.
There is a dedicated Android Authorization Prodvider that can be found here.
All future work will be in the Java SDK and we will support the Android platform via that SDK.
I want to know whether google is planning to support any other platforms other than iOS and Android for Cross platform development using Flutter.
Like React native windows for React native does flutter have framework that would support windows phone development?
Nobody can answer this question except Google, however it seems very unlikely that anyone would put effort into Windows Phone when even Microsoft are not:
Of course we'll continue to support the platform.. bug fixes, security updates, etc. But building new features/hw aren't the focus. 😟

As for:
support any other platforms other than iOS and Android for Cross platform development using Flutter
This is not officially supported, but lots of people in the community are interested in running Flutter on desktop and have been playing around with it. Maybe in future it'll cover more platforms even if they're not official or from Google.

A job we are doing right now has windows phone compatibility as a requirement.
My suggestion is to look into exporting Flutter to Web and then making a windows app which is just a full screen webview and loading the flutter web app in the app's internal webview.
We are building a chat client in Xamarin Forms (.NET, PCL) for Windows 10 (UWP), Android, iOS and for Mac in future.
We are evaluating Twilio Programmable Chat as a platform to built on.
Is there a .NET SDK (PCL or non-PCL) that we can use to build the client?
Or can we built one of our own using a .NET socket library of our own?
There's no .NET SDK currently available, however Xamarin SDK is planned (no exact date, we'll try to get it going ASAP). You can always use generated wrappers to access the REST API from your application or write your own. The API documentation on the site should be sufficient to get you going, but if you have any specific questions - feel free to ask on SO or from Twilio Support.
Hope this helps.
Background: I've recently learned Ruby on Rails and have just learned to use JavaScript as well as JQuery. I've created some web apps using both.
Goal: To create a small e-commerce-like site using Rails backend but optimize for mobile. There will be a shopping cart but no built-in payment system.
I've seen these mobile app frameworks like ionic for mobile but am aware that ionic doesn't play nice with internet explorer for the desktop folks.
My idea is to use a mobile app framework like ionic or such for mobile and using a web framework like AngularJS for the desktop users for the same site. Or use a mobile app framework for mobile and no web framework for desktop?
I'm currently not advanced enough in my development skills to create adapters to use ionic or other mobile app frameworks to work friendly with desktop browsers. I'm looking for the more developer convenient route with style and with less configuration.
Please advise your recommendations and if you think that this setup can be done with minimal configuration with Rails as the backend.
Hybrid solutions will always be less good than native, in terms of performance, size and stability.
But Hybrid solutions are improving with time and ionic is a great solution, it avoids you to develop specific app for each platform.
To develop your hybrid app i warmly recommand you to use AngularJS, to me jQuery is not made to develop big application.
Will a Blackberry smartphone application written in the Java api work on the Playbook without modification?
According to RIM, once the JDE player is released, they will have to be re-packaged which may require re-compiling, to run on the PlayBook. The same applies to Android applications. In either case you will not be able to download native JDE or Android apps and run them on the PlayBook.
The only application SDK path that allows for BlackBerry Smartphone applications to run both on BBOS, Playbook and BlackBerry 10 is the HTML5 WebWorks SDK
Get started by reading the Getting Started Overview Guide

You may also be interested in cloning bbUI.js, a free ui framework that works across BlackBerry devices going back to OS5. bbUI.js targets platform specific native features, like access to hardware apis, while providing a consistent feel.

Best of luck to you.
Yes, RIM has announced that they will release a virtual machine which will play your existing blackberry app. I'm not sure if developers have to re-submit their blackberry apps though.
Playbook will also support Android apps, but developers will have to recompile their apps and submit those to App World.
