Some from table are already implemented for Android: FileOpenPicker: #2896 CallHistory: #2575 [iOS: unavailable (no API for accessing calllog)] Contacts: #2544 network (partly): #2604 Background work (timertrigger, systemtrigger): #2655 Calendar: #3087

Some are not in table, also already implemented for Android: Toast notification, app called from toast: #2585 SMS message reader/writer: #3055 [iOS: unavailable (no API for accessing messages)] Clipboard (clipput): #2722 KnownFolders: #2773 * StorageFolder (iterating elements): #2774 (for all platforms)

*) denotes PRs that should be modified to use #3025 (showing system dialog asking for permission), now it only checks permission (in RequestAccessAsync or in similar method).

Two from table are in my plans: Bluetooth, Tiles - as I need this to port some my apps from UWP to Uno.

• Battery (Windows.Devices.Power) - this is supported on iOS & Android. WASM is missing APIs for power info access. macOS I have in todo :-) .
• Gaming Input - in progress, all platforms - #3001 and will do as series of live codings.
• MIDI #2757 - in progress, all platforms
• BadgeNotification - in progress, iOS & macOS, other platforms don't have required APIs

@morning4coffe-dev Can you please update the table based on your analysis? (feel free to add missing rows)
