I am unable to find Microsoft's new development platform WinUI3 in visual studio. Should I install any components or something bug in my VS?
You need to install the correct workload as described here:
Required workloads and components While installing Visual Studio 2022
or 2019, select the following workloads and components.
On the Workloads tab of the installation dialog, select:
Universal Windows Platform development .NET Desktop Development
Desktop development with C++ On the Individual components tab of the
installation dialog, make sure Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.0) is
selected in the SDKs, libraries, and frameworks section.
In the Installation details pane of the installation dialog, make sure
C++ (v142) Universal Windows Platform tools is selected in the
Universal Windows Platform development section:
You also have to:
Install the Windows App SDK extension for Visual Studio (VSIX)
The Windows App SDK includes project and item templates for creating and developing WinUI 3 apps. These project templates are available as Visual Studio extensions (VSIX) for Visual Studio 2022 / 2019.
In the Visual Studio Installer under "Workloads / Installation details" at the right side, enable:
".NET desktop development" > "Windows App SDK C# Templates"
"Desktop development with C++" > "Windows App SDK C++ Templates"
All other required features will be selected automatically.

Visual Studio can have multiple Extension SDKs which are used to ease the development.
Is Xamarin SDK belongs to one of those Extension SDKs of Visual Studio
IDE?
Xamarin SDK is an open-source framework to develop mobile application. And it is bundled as a free tool within Microsoft Visual Studio's integrated development environment.
To answer your question, Yes Xamarin SDK is a part of SDKs in Visual Studio.
Visual Studio use the NuGet Package Manager to Install and manage packages(Like the Xamarin SDK and other Extension SDKs you mentioned in your question).
Those packages are added to your project and you can use them to develop your project.
Xamarin is installed by default if you create a Xamarin.forms project in Visual-Studio.
Xamarin is shipped as a Visual Studio Workload. Although this documentation page doesn't show the individual SDK packages, they are included in the component: Component.Xamarin.
i.e. Xamarin.Android.Sdk / Xamarin.VisualStudio.Apple.Sdk / etc
If you installed Visual Studio 2019 and watched the installer, you'd see the names of these packages as they progress!
Otherwise you can just go into Visual Studio and click on Help -> About Visual Studio and see all of the various packages!

You don't have Mono android integrated with visual studio so you can't find it from
Help --> About Visual Studio.
There is no more monoDoid now it becomes Xamarin.Android.
Xamarin.Android applications run within the Mono execution environment which it takes with it onto the device. Thus, an application package is an obvious way in which we can get this done. So mono itself is xamarin.android. Here you are using mono android version v6.0 which you have targeted for your application & Runtime Version: 4.0.3 is your version of .NET runtime assembly.
Mono- The Mono framework is an open source implementation of Microsoft’s .NET Framework based on the open standards for the C# language and the Common Language Runtime.
The Mono project has been in active development for over a decade and is used - behind the scenes - in many products. Developer used to use it with Visual Studio 2010.

I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2017 with Xamarin using its online installer. But when I tick "Mobile development with .NET" under Workloads it selects an Android SDK setup as well. If I try to untick it (Android SDK setup) then Xamarin will also be unticked.
How can I install only Xamarin without any Android SDKs for Visual Studio 2017?
If you are freshly installing Visual Studio 2017, rather than checking Mobile development with .NET under Workloads you have to tick Xamarin under Individual Components in the installer window.
If you had already installed Visual Studio 17 without Xamarin, then go to,
Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features
Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and click on Change. In the appeared Window, select Modify under your specific Visual Studio version listed.
Go to the Individual components tab, now you can select only Xamarin and no other components will be attached to it.
This was my selections under Individual Components to install Xamarin without android. The Green Ticks would be a sufficiently enough selection.
I'm having a problem with running the ios .cspoj file, when i want to start new project for iOS devices I get error that i have to install Xamarin. I have installed Xamarin program and still says that i need to install Xamarin for start ios project. I don't know what to do so i hope you guys can help me fix the problem.
Here is image of the problem
You said that you installed the "Xamarin program", but what exactly did you install? I cannot tell from your screenshot if you are using Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2015, but...
If you are using Visual Studio 2013, you will need to use the Xamarin Universal Installer(Just input your information and the file will be available to download).
If you are using Visual Studio 2015, then you can install Xamarin directly from within the Visual Studio 2015 installer window. Using Microsoft's guide from here you can:
...open Control Panel > Programs and Features, choose the Visual Studio 2015 item, and click Change. When the installer opens, click Modify
Check the following boxes:
Cross-Platform Mobile Development > C#/.NET (Xamarin)
For Windows 8+: Cross-Platform Mobile Development > Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android
(Optional) If you plan on targeting Windows devices, also check Windows and Web Development > Universal Windows App Development Tools and/or Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools
Click the Install button
Once installation is complete... check for Xamarin updates through Tools > Options > Xamarin or Tools > Options > Xamarin > Other, where you’ll find a Check Now
I upgraded VS 2015 CE with Update 2 by installing Xamarin, but I have a problem with IOS simulators, because after you successfully connected the Mac Agent, the list of available devices (iPhoneSimulator) remains empty. The operating system (Mac) installed on a VM's OS X El capitan 10.11.4. I tried to start the test project by Xamarin studio on Mac and it all works. Both versions of Xamrain (Pc and Mac) are updated to the latest version. How do I fix it? Thank you

On the Mac, open a terminal and enter:

Then

Then wait a few seconds.

make sure there is no process listed on the Mac by the above command, kill them if needed.
Restart vs.
should be ok.
