I am trying to recreate my work environment at home so that I can practice MVVM some more and help some additional students who will be going and getting internships. At work, we use Prism template pack in order to create views for our WPF applications. I downloaded the Prism Template Pack from the url seen below...
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=BrianLagunas.PrismTemplatePack
I fired up Visual Studio but I don't see the Prism Unity App project type under the Prism tab. I do see the Prism Unity App as a recent project type, but when I click on that I cannot create a new project of that type because it says it no longer exists. I have Visual Studio 2017 version 15.4.4 installed with the features .NET desktop development, Universal Windows Platform development, Data storage and processing and Xamarin.

I'm new to xamarin and I'm trying to create cross platform App. In my Visual Studio there are only two options(Refer attached Image) but there should be option to create cross platform App too. I tried reinstalling mobile development with .NET and I'm using Visual Studio 2017.
Screenshot here
Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms) is a cross-platform. This allows you to use .NET with C#. Please try creating anew Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms) project. It should create an Android project, an iOS project, and shared UI project. The shared project is where you will write the shared code for both projects.
I upgrade visual studio 2017 to version 15.5.2, when I create a new project of xamarin forms not show PCL (Portable Class Libraries) project that appear .net standard and Shared Projects.
I need to create some project PCL of xamarin forms, help me.
Since a recent version the templates replace the PCL library with a .NET Standard library. And I suggest that you stick with it, as it will be the future.
You should be able to create a PCL library if you really want to and make it work. Also, as a workaround, you could create the project on Visual Studio for Mac. It doesn't have the updated templates (yet) and you will still be able to create the app with a PCL. Just copy that or commit it to source control and open it on Windows afterwards.
Visual Studio for Mac (formerly called Xamarin Studio) has a cool feature where you can easily create NuGet platform-specific multiplatform library projects.
However, VSMac doesn't know how to include Windows as one of the target platforms (only iOS and Android). I thought I would try creating a NuGet library project in VSMac (targeting only iOS and Android) and then have Visual Studio 2017 Windows add the Windows version, but VS2017Win can't even load the solution that VSMac creates ("This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects.").
Do I just have to sit tight and wait for Microsoft to add this functionality to VS2017Win?

If I understand your question correctly, you want to create a cross-platform package that uses native APIs on iOS, Android, and Windows. This functionality has been supported on Visual Studio 2017 on windows. You can refer to the detail info from the document：Create cross-platform packages
Besides, since Visual Studio for Mac is still a preview version, many features need to be improved and added. If want to use Visual Studio for Mac to create the cross-platform package and include Windows as one of the target platforms, the current method seems to be only wait for Microsoft to add this functionality to VS2017 for Mac.
Hope this can help you.
I'm trying to create a Xamarin crossplatform project on visual studio 2015 but it stuck in showing "creating project..." dialog have to force close Visual studio to stop it, so I tried to create a crossplatform project on Xamarin studio instead and my project created successfully but when i try to build the project it get stuck in "building project( debug)" and also can stop it only by force close Xamarin studio.
Any help?
You must have a very slow network connection to the Xamarin servers, so you have to find a way to fix the Android SDK installation. I have some details and you need to carefully change the version numbers based on Xamarin latest release,
