I started using the Prism Template Studio with Visual Studio for Mac version 7.x a few days ago. Today Visual Studio updated and I no longer have access to the handy Prism extensions.
I've tried opening the Extensions Manager and going to the Gallery tab to re-install the Template Studio, but when I search for Prism, nothing shows up.
I expected to find the Prism Template Studio listed. Is there a version that supports Visual Studio for Mac 8.0 or is there plan to add support?
TIA

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!
I have successfully installed xamarin, i created one application by it, after i installed visual c++, framework 4.5 and repaired the visual studio one time during the installation, Xamrin option disappeared from new projects.
Ok, Open the visual studio click on Help->About Microsoft Visual studio
check. Is there xamarin is available or not, if not go to control panel and update the visual studio.
I downloaded latest visual studio 2017 and I have chosen Xamarin while installing it and I already have visual studio 2015 with Xamarin and I was able to develop visual studio Xamarin.winphone along with Xamarin.ios and Xamarin.Droid.
I am aware winphone is deprecated in visual studio 2017 and I thought to develop Xamarin.uwp by migrating all my winphone code uwp.
But When I create a new Xamarin native project I am not able to find Xamarin.uwp but I can find Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Droid.
Here is the screenshot
What could have gone wrong ?
Please check if you have installed Windows 10 SDK. The following is check steps.

But it seems xamarin studio is not installed for my computer, anyone know where is xamarin studio and how to install it?
As per the Xamarin FAQ page:
Do you still offer Xamarin Studio on Windows?
Xamarin Studio is no longer included with our Windows installer. We
encourage Windows developers to move to Visual Studio.

can anybody explain which tools I need. I have downloaded Xamarin studio but is this now merged into Visual studio for Mac ? I don't understand the difference.
Can you actually use both IDEs or what's going on. ? It seems that the trial licence I have in Xamarin is actually for VS...!
Visual Studio for Mac and Xamarin Studio sharing the same base. You can say if you will that Xamarin Studio is the father of Visual Studio for Mac. They are equal when it comes to mobile development. But Visual Studio for Mac brings support for asp.net core and has a higher Azure integration as well.
Xamarin Studio is a stable release, whereas Visual Studio for Mac is in preview. The release notes highlight new features, such as .NET Core support, connected app templates, and multi-process debugging. Visual Studio for Mac can be installed side-by-side with Xamarin Studio and requires Mono 4.8, which is available in the alpha and beta channels. Currently, installing the stable version of Xamarin Studio will downgrade Mono to an older version; this can be worked around by switching Xamarin Studio to alpha or beta, or opting out of the Mono downgrade.
