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.

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 have a CRM tool that salespeople use to call out. I want to set Twilio up so that they click on the icon to initiate the call in their browser, Twilio will call their cell phone and then the customers phone number after they have accepted the call on their cell. I want to do this so that the users are not forced to use their computer mic/headphones to call the customer. Does anyone know how to do this or point me to a tutorial that explains it?
Twilio developer evangelist here.
That feature is known as click-to-call. There is an example application for this in the Twilio CodeExchange including example code in Ruby, Python, JavaScript, PHP, Java and .NET. There is also a tutorial in some of these languages, here is the PHP one: https://www.twilio.com/docs/voice/tutorials/click-to-call-php.
The flow in the example application is slightly different to what you describe. In the example a user enters their phone number into a form and submits. This causes Twilio to dial the user and then the sales team. However, the theory for your use-case is the same. You just need to initiate the submission from your CRM, call your sales person first and then connect them to the user.

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 am currently working on a school project and was wondering if there is an API to fetch data such as the current official top ten games from the iOS app store? I know there are websites like sensor tower where I could maybe extract data from, but I was hoping to find an API that accesses the apple store data directly rather than going through a 3rd party website. So far I've not had much luck!
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!
Apple didn't launch any official APIs for accessing the App Store data.
Find below the APIs that are available right now,
1- iTunes Search API, It is for iTunes Store and Apple Books Store.
https://affiliate.itunes.apple.com/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api/
2- App Store Connect API, It's concerning with apps that added to App Store Connect only.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/testflight/apps
And Check the following similar question as well,
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/347123/appstore-api-for-search-and-download
It depends on how you define "Top Games", for example:
by downloads?
by position on Top Charts?
by average ratings and/or number of ratings?
and in what countries or categories?
The easiest way would be to use a third-party API that pre-packages all those insights, for example you could use this Advanced Query API to search for "games only" and sort by "position on Top Charts". You find several examples in the section "Example Queries".
As you might notice, that endpoint expects a POST request, so make sure you enclose your payload (e.g. JSON-formatted search parameters) in the body of the request message. If you use PHP this other post gives you a good example on how to do it: How do I send a POST request with PHP?
Hope this was helpful! If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch.

The best API for accessing Android and iTunes App Store data is https://www.appmonsta.com. They were recently acquired by MightySignal.

In google, some searches might bring up some data found by google (For instance, searching "bitcoin price" brings up data on pricing in a little box at the top, as does searching "2 plus 2". Is there a Google API that will fetch just the data pulled up in the box (as in, If this API was given the keyword "Bitcoin", it would return the price but not the links to websites below). Is there such a "data box" API that will work with the Swift Programming Language (It is for an iOS app)?
I couldn't find any previous questions like this, but there may be some, as I don't know the proper terminology (If anyone happens to know the official name of what I called "data boxes", do tell! Also, I apologize for use of the API tag, I just don't know the name of the API I am looking for.
The official name is "OneBox".
The underlying APIs are unavailable and brokered by Google and private data providers. Your best bet is to find the data sources directly and use their API; which will probably involve an exchange of money or other formal agreement.

I am developing one application for iOS. In that user can purchase doctor services. I dont have any idea about payment gateways. So, please suggest me which is the best payment gateway method and how to implement that in my iOS app. ( I am from India), i heard payment gateway methods depends upon the country.
There are quite a few - also depends on your country as not all providers cover all countries. Take a look at:
https://stripe.com/
https://www.braintreepayments.com/
and probably http://www.paypal.com
What you want is something that's easy to code for (securely) in iOS. All the above (as well as many others) have APIs and sample code that make connecting to process payments easy and secure.
EDIT
Just seen you've added that you're in India. Assuming that means that you want to process payments in India, then I think your options (as at July 2014) are more limited. Certainly stripe and braintree don't cover India. I believe PayPal do (although maybe not with their latest APIs), so that might be your best bet.
