Answer 1

For iOS and OSX you can use Signalr-ObjC its kept up to pretty well with the ongoing version of SignalR.

Answer 2

Microsoft has just released an Android client https://github.com/SignalR/java-client. For iOs you cant take a look at https://github.com/DyKnow/SignalR-ObjC.

Answer 3

You can look at my project SignalA for a native Android-client. It's work in progress... :) It's now updated to protocol version 1.2 which is used in the 1.0 release of SignalR.
