Answer 1

While using Xamarin, you can communicate (send/receive push-notifications) with rabbitMQ using Rabbitmq-web-STOMP plugin activated on broker end, and use socket-io at Xamarin (using web sockets).For details regarding how to do it in xamarin see here. Use the example code that gets generated after you install the stomp and stomp examples on rabbitServer by :

rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_web_stomp

rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_web_stomp_examples

for rabbitly-details have a look here, and into the source of "echo" example .

Answer 2

Well, RabbitMQ.Client requires .NET Standard 1.5, and Xamarin.Andorid and Xamarin.iOS provide.NET Standard 1.6: https://github.com/dotnet/standard/blob/master/docs/versions.md

P.S. make sure to convert your projects to package.json structure instead of "old" nuget packages.config. dotnet build tools are also a must (Visual Studio 2015 Update 3?)
