Answer 1

This seems less about Xamarin.Forms and more about using defaults in a PCL. Check out James Montemagno's github repo for doing cross-platform defaults.

Then just call his static methods for setting/retrieving. The nuget package is Xam.Plugins.Settings.

It can be used like this:

using Refractored.Xam.Settings;

...

CrossSettings.Current.AddOrUpdateValue("AccessToken", accessToken);
var value = CrossSettings.Current.GetValueOrDefault("AccessToken");
