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.
Enter the “Visual Studio Installer” in the conrtana search box.
Click the modify button in the window of Visual Studio Installer.
Select the version you need to install.

In Visual Studio 2017, how to check for Xamarin updates?
There's no Xamarin\Other tab anymore:
I found someone else complained and someone from Microsoft says it was fixed, but he doesn't say how it was fixed:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/22951/xamarin-doesnt-update-properly-vs-2017.html
I find the Xamarin updates under Tools/Extensions and Updates, at this moment I have:
Xamarin for Visual Studio 4.5.0.486
Xamarin.Android SDK 7.3.1.2
Xamarin.Apple SDK 10.10.0.37
I supose that Xamarin will update as equal to other Visual Studio extensions
I have recently installed Visual Studio(VS) 2015 on my desktop on Windows operating system. I thought when I opened the VS 2015, I expected to see the Xamarin in it, but it does not. Then I installed the Xamarin again, and again and again, but still Xamarin does not show up in VS 2015.
I wonder what is wrong? what am I missing? By the way, I still have Visual Studio 2013 on my system.
solution:
uninstall all the existing versions of visual studio ( 2010, 2012, 2013) except Visual Studio 2015 and then install Xamarin, and then you could able to see Xamarin on Visual Studio 2015.
Hope this will useful for you.,

I am trying to install Xamarin on my PC. I have downloaded Xamarin Studio but am not able to get it to work with Visual Studio 2015.
You'll need to download Xamarin for Visual Studio, not just Xamarin Studio.
You should be able to get the Xamarin for Visual Studio installer via your Xamarin account here: https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads
Click the Hide all versions link under the blue button, then pick one of the Windows links under Xamarin.iOS or Xamarin.Android to download the installer you need.
Once you install that, you should be ready to work in Visual Studio.
I installed Xamarin first and then installed Visual Studio 2013. But when I open Visual Studio it doesn't show the Xamarin components when I try to create a new project for Xamarin.
What I should do so that I can work on Xamarin with the help of Visual Studio 2013?
For this you must install "Extensions for Visual Studio" plug in, which is delivered with Xamarin. So you must run XamarinInstaller again - but you don't have to uninstall anything, just run it again.
Update: As I see, they offer on their website "Visual Studio tool for Xamarin". So try this one.
I have installed Visual Studio 2015 Professional and would like to know how/what should I download from the Xamarin website to integrate into VS 2015 Pro to develop Android apps with Xamarin.
Just download the universal installer from their website
During Visual Studio installation, you have the option to select C#/.NET(Xamarin) under Cross-Platform Development.
You can Modify/Repair the Visual Studio install and select Xamarin and any other components (e.g. Android SDK if it was not selected previously, although they can also be installed separately) and update the installation. Install details/reference here
