please suggest an exact or a near replacement for a UIPicker Control(that we have in iOS) in WP7.
You can use the LoopingSelector control in the windows phone toolkit.

How to get the text content of screen? Both from a WebView and a Native App.
For example, from the following image, I would like to get/extract/retrieve the title and the first two paragraphs.
On Android this is possible using the accessibility tools. But so far I haven't found how to do something like that on iOS.
I would like to know how to do this natively using Swift / Xcode. But if is possible with EXPO or React Native it would also help a lot. Thank you.
I think that what you are asking is the accessibility identifier.
Under the identity inspector you can find the Accessibility section and there you have a text field for an identifier.
Alternatively you can set this via code
for example:
submitButton.accessibilityIdentifier = "submitButton"
I'm making an iPad app that lets me write swift code into a text box and save it to a document. It doesn't do any compilation or any complicated stuff like that, so I'm just looking for a way to format the code correctly in the text box (ex: code autocomplete, autoindent if possible, and maybe syntax highlighting). In short, I'd like my app's text field and keyboard to look similar to those of Swift Playgrounds.
If Apple's provided the code (or a built-in keyboard option that can do even some of this), I'd appreciate a link to it. Otherwise, how would I go about building a custom keyboard and text field (or at least disable the features like autocomplete that would get in the way)?
Thanks.
As far as I know the only way to do what you describe is to build a Swift Playgrounds app that presents a code editor window. Apple does provide documentation on creating third party iPad Swift playgrounds. I suggest looking it up on Apple's site.
I'm Deaf and curious if there is the possibility to point the iPhone toward a speaker and see its text on the screen?
Not sure if iOS10 comes with that Voice to Text functionality or if an external app is required for this?
Thanks for any suggestions!
As developer's point of view in ios 10 there is speech.framework which can use to convert voice to text
for reference you can refer speech.framework
Does anyone know if there is a way to programmatically enable and read text in-app using the underlying Accessibility features available in iOS 5+?
To be clear, I am talking about the following feature (but of course doing this programmatically).
I am open to alternatives, but would prefer an Apple approved way to use this particular iOS 5 feature.
Unfortunately it's not possible currently. The "Speak Selection" is only available to users that enable it in Accessibility settings and only for highlighted text in apps.
For programmatic Text-to-Speech you can check out iphone-tts. It works pretty well, though one caveat is that it only supports the voices it comes with, it doesn't use the "Siri voice". You can tweak the pitch and speed to your liking, but you won't be able to match the built in voice for iOS.
I'm looking for an example how to swipe between tabs using mono for android. Unfortunately I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I would really appreciate any help pointing me in the right direction.. ?
This is what I'm trying to do,

If you run the latest version of Mono for Android, you will get the behavior for free if you use Android 4.0+ and the ActionBar in tab navigation mode.
If you need a general guide on how to use the actionbar, I suggest this blogpost: http://fizzylogic.azurewebsites.net/2012/03/05/mono-for-android-by-example-the-action-bar/
