I'm looking for a lib to use that comes with zxing QR scanning capabilities for iOS. What's the best option out there right now?
The question is slightly confusing - zxing is a QR scanning library. If you mean you are looking for an iOS port of zxing then try the Google one:
http://code.google.com/p/zxing/downloads/list
I know it looks like they're all for Android, but if you download the ZXing-1.7.zip it includes the code for multiple platforms including iOS (although the code base was a bit of a mess last time I checked).
EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the part about PhoneGap (should probably mention that in the question, not just the title). I don't know of an existing PhoneGap plugin, but you can probably write one yourself easily enough if you can get the iOS ZXing examples working.
There is an iPhone Barcode Scanner plugin for Phonegap in the phonegap-plugins github repository here. According to the readme, it uses zxing.

We need to read Inverted QR Codes on both Android and iOS.
On Android we wrote a piece of native code to use QRDroid to do the scanning as it is capable of scanning both regular and inverted codes.
On iOS the standard barcode reader app is also capable of reading both regular and inverted codes.
Is there a way to to use the native app to do the scanning and then simply grab the output from it to use in our own app.
The first sample of native code we wrote implemented ZXing in iOS and the current code for QR reading is a cn1lib you can easily edit to do anything.
We also created a cn1lib for scandit which is a proprietary scanner library. You can use those as references.
The state of code scanning on iOS is a bit worse than Android so I'm not sure if you'll find what you are looking for.
Does Alljoyn really support iOS? It seems the last release supports iOS 8.x. Have not seen anything beyond 8.x. Am I missing something? Looking for a way to use interoperable WiFi Peer-to-Peer on Android, iOS, and Windows10 (Mobile) platforms.
Yes, AllJoyn supports iOS. This library was written on Objective-C and company I worked at had to support and upgrade the framework by our own. The code is private.
You could also ask and learn something on their official page.
UPD:
AllJoyn is connecting with Open Connectivity Foundation. So better to look at their solution.
And look at this IoTivity solution. Seems promising.
I need to know whether there is an api or code available to scan a QR code in blackberry having OS6.0 and above . i am new to QR coding section so please guide me .
Starting with BlackBerry OS 6 the xzing bar code scanning library is included in the API. RIM has provided a Developers' guide available here. I suggest you start there, and follow up with other reading. Zxing is a Google library with lots of on-line documentation available.
I want to implement the barcode scanner for Blackberry device higher then 5.0. As I am quite new to barcode scanning, I tried to google it and tried searching on stackoverflow. Got few samples, but quite confused.
Can anyone provide me links to get Zxing SDK for blackberry ?
The ZXing project is already built into Blackberry OS 6+. Still you may want to use a later version than the version that is included. You can of course download this from the site at http://code.google.com/p/zxing. BBOS support was discontinued in version 2.0, so you will need to use 1.7.
I think it may help you:

If you are not getting the code there then check this link:

Note: It is better to read the conversations in the above link to understand well.
I've been looking for interactive chart library for iOS but it seems like there's not so many options out there. I've tried CorePlot and two other commercial library but even though the licensing were very expensive they're not quite what I'm looking for or close to some of the charts found in Microstrategy or Roambi app like the on below ...
Then I found an article about Adobe Flex with a few sample applications build using Adobe Flex that can run on iOS. Pretty interesting technology but I'm mostly interested with its chart. Is it possible to create a library using Adobe Flex(with chart views) and import the library into Xcode?
It's possible to create applications with Flex/Flash for iOS using AIR. And there is also a great opportunity exists to import native iOS libraries created with Xcode to the Flex (find some samples here). So you just need to look for appropriate charts functionality implemented with flex/flash and try to launch it under the iOS to see whether you'll be satisfied with performance or not.
Flex = Flash, and iOS != Flash. Clearly, Xcode wouldn't allow it. You could try compiling a bundle from Adobe's cross compiler tool, if that is indeed possible, and use class-dump to access it. Perhaps.
Adobe Flex 4.5 and 4.6 have introduced ANE (Adobe Native Extensions). This allows extending the Adobe AIR runtime ( there is runtime for IPhone, IPad, Adroid, Blackberry 10, ) using native code.
For IPhone you can write a static library compiled as a .a file and import that into your Flex Iphone project and compile as ANE.
Flex also has some native things like vibration, camera etc support, but if you want to do anything nifty with it, just write native.
Compared to Titanium, PhoneGap, KendoUI etc - Adobe Flex 4.6 really stands out. One thing that you must be aware of that Adobe Air runtime needs to be on the device. From Adobe Flex 4.6 onwards, you can actually bundle the air runtime with your app - it is called the captive runtime.
