How do we create a "Call waiting" option for a VOIP mobile app using Twilio even though Twilio does not have an SDK that supports this function?

Mobile applications

Twilio

Assuming Twilio allows multiple calls to the same number to happen simultaneously (I've never tested this), you could build a lookup table in your app that stored active calls, then give the user a control to swap between active calls. You could send a push notification to notify the user of additional incoming calls (a vibration) if there's not a way to play a sound or otherwise notify the user through the active Twilio call. (There should be a way to send an audio notification, though.)

This is all untested, so I can't speak to whether or not Twilio can/will support that setup, but — assuming multiple calls are allowed through their service — it should be possible using something like that.

Good luck!
