Is there anyway to use a UIWebView with an application targeted for tvos?
This Apple Doc, UIWebView Class Reference, would suggest otherwise would it not? Or am I just interpreting this all wrong?
UIWebViewNavigationType (New in tvos 9.0)
UIWebView is not available for tvOS, as #JessBowers mentioned in the comments, and is documented here: UIKit Changes for Objective-C, UIKit Changes for Swift.
For a complete list of iOS API's that are available for tvOS refer to: iOS 9.0 to tvOS 9.0 API Differences
Although WebKit/UIWebView is not officially available in tvOS, some people have figured out that it is possible to use that functionality if you are willing to edit your system header files. No word on whether Apple would actually approve a tvOS app that is using such an undocumented API.

Onsen-ui 2.0 provides material and flat components. If we want to follow vendor design guidelines we should use material for android and flat for ios. How should I do without using full switch android or ios on my templates ?
With Onsen 2.0, they are enabling this exact feature. Onsen 2.0 will automatically detect the platform and switch between iOS and Material for you. Check out this blog post from yesterday that explains it all in detail: https://onsen.io/blog/what-is-material-design/
This is the relevant quote though from that link:
We have also gone one step further by adding automatic styles. What
this means is that an Onsen UI app will use the Material Design
components when running on the Android platform while it automatically
switches to the flat design when running on iOS.
I will be waiting for Beta 7 , Have you decided the date of release. Switch based on platform is going to be a fantastic feature.
I'm developing my first iOS app in Xamarin.iOS, using MonoTouch.Dialog to create the graphical user interface via code with only minor (color only) customizations.
My question is: Will the user interface upgrade to the new iOS 7 look & feel for users using that iOS version or it will always look the same regardless?
I don't have an Apple Developer Account yet so I'm not able to install iOS 7 to try it in my iOS device and haven't found documentation regarding this particular topic in MonoTouch.Dialog website.
Now, when Xamarin.iOS 7.0 is out, when you set target SDK to 7.0, everything looks iOS7 like.
iOS agnostic answer: MonoTouch.Dialog uses UITableView (and friends) and will behave like any other application, using UITableView, would using the same iOS version.
At this time information about iOS 7 is only available under NDA so you unlikely to get any public answers. Apple private forums, where you can ask iOS 7 specific questions, requires you to have a developer account (which ensure you're covered by the same NDA as everyone else).
Developping an MvvmCross application targeting Android and iOS (Xamarin/Mono) and Windows Store (because it's so easy/fast to debug compared to iOS/Android).
The Core of the app is PCL based.
Is it possible to use Async/Await in the Core library?
Xamarin mono supports Async/Await, and Windows Store supports it.
However, when selecting only Net4.5, Windows Store, Mono Android and MonoTouch as the PCL targets, SL4 and WP7.5 get automatically selected and Async/Await is not availlable anymore.
The latest I have is: TPL on PCL of mvvmcross
But PCL support from Xamarin has officially launched in the last week - so the latest I have is be out of date. Miguel has promised a blog post on the current status when he returns from Build.
Also, I have seen user comments like "I'm using asyncbridge and profile47 with heavily usage of async inside PCL. Works perfect on iOs and Android, with MvvmCross events it looks like a magic" from http://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/comment/18872/#Comment_18872 - would love to see this more fully blogged, explained, documented by those who have it working.
I have seen that there are so wonderful ways in Xcode to design your CoreData models - is there a way to make use of this and CoreData in general in MonoTouch 5?
Any tutorials or examples?
Maybe is not the direct answer to your question but might be what you are looking for:
Sqlite-net is an open source, minimal library to allow .NET and Mono applications to store data in SQLite 3 databases. <- the one you are using but for future reference
Vici CoolStorage is a fully typed Object Relational Mapping library for .NET 3.5, Windows Phone, MonoTouch and Mono for Android
Catnap is a basic lightweight ORM for .NET. It uses the ADO.NET API. The project includes an adapter for Sqlite, and it is tested with System.Data.Sqlite and Mono.Data.Sqlite.
MonoTouch.SQLite An abstract UITableViewController to make displaying data from an SQLite table simpler.
Entify is entity framework for desktop and mobile applications. It aims to be stable and easy-to-use library that is effortless to deploy with any application. It has visual designer which allows developer to define application data model easily and quickly.
Just a side note on entify, it has not been updated since Apr 11, 2010 so idk if it still works
The only thing I could find about MonoTouch and CoreData was this blog post.
Hope this helps.

Here is the documentation for CoreData in Mono.
This blog post is almost two years old, but the only example I could find of using CoreData in Mono.
Most relevant to your question, however, this bug/request is for integrating Xcode's tools into Mono. It doesn't seem to even be under development yet.
Edit:
You can also use /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/momc <source xcdatamodel> <absolute path to target> to generate the .momd. I'm still working on getting it integrated better - see this question.
I been looking around and at sources like this one they say that a Midlet can invoke another if they are in the same suite, or if they are in the same namespace and in the same jar file.
I do not understand what a Midlet-Suite is?
Also after searching through the web I did not find any documentation or code examples for One Midlet invoking another Midlet.
A MIDlet suite is basically the JAR file. There are many J2ME applications that contain several MIDlet classes in the jar, see some of Sun's examples that come with WTK.
Edit: There's an example called MMAPIDemos that comes with sun's WTK that uses 3 MIDlets in one suite.
The other replies are pretty much taking care of your questions about MIDlet Suites but I would suggest reading the MIDP specification to get the information first-hand:
http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=118
On recent phones (Series60 5th edition from Nokia Sony-Ericsson and Samsung, other Sony-ericsson phones), the Content Handling API (CHAPI) is supported for MIDlet-to-MIdlet invocation.
That's JSR-211. You can read the specification for that here:
http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=211
The latest version of the Nokia Java Developers Library will contain more explanation:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/Tools_Docs_and_Code/Documentation/Java/
The latest JavaME SDK will contain CHAPI code examples:
http://java.sun.com/javame/downloads/sdk30.jsp
Edit: CHAPI is also available on non-Symbian Nokia phones from Series 40 5th Edition, Feature Pack 1 onward, according to the Nokia Java Developers Library. You can find which nokia phone is running which version of Series40 at:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/matrix_all_1.html
You can try PushRegistry as a more generic way. You should be able to launch MIDlets from other suites as well. Try this link for more information.
