No xamarin.forms BlankApp in visual studio 2017

Question

I just installed the Visual Studio 2017 community. In addition, I installed the version of Xamarin Community. Initially, I thought that I would have to use Xamarin Studio to create cross-platform applications. But later I realized this from the Internet that Xamarin Studio is only installed on the MAC OS. On Windows, Xamarin is installed instead of the Visual Studio extension. After fully installing Xamarin on my Windows 10, I opened Visual Studio and I did not see "BlankApp (Xamarin.Forms Portable)" on the Visual C # / Cross-Platform tab. Instead, there were only a few class libraries and an application for testing the interface.

How can I understand how to create a Xamarin cross platform on my edition of Visual Studio 2017? Am I missing any extensions or need an update? Please, help.

Answer 1

File> New> Project> Installed> Templates> Visual C #> Cross-platform Select cross-platform Select Cross Platform application (Xamarin.Forms or native)

A new application dialog opens. For the template, select "Empty application" For code sharing strategy Select "Portable Class Library (PCL)" Click "OK" and you will go well.

THIS IS NOT A DIRECT ANSWER , I tried many options for installing, uninstalling, changing, but I can not find "forms for xamarin for a banking application."

SO WHAT I DID , installed visual studio 2015 and found that "there is an application for xamarin banking applications".
