I want to develop a Mac app using Xamarin. However, when I open the New Project wizard, the Mac templates are nowhere to be found.

I saw "Missing Project Templates for Mac Apps" on the Xamarin forum, but I could not find much else about this topic online, although the answer in that thread did clear up that I don't have the SDK, but (thankfully) my Xcode path is valid.

How can I install Xamarin.Mac (or any other Xamarin SDK) for an existing installation of Visual Studio for Mac?

After some more searching online, I found Install Visual Studio 2017 for Mac in the Visual Studio docs, which finally cleared everything up:

Note

If you chose not to install a platform or tool during the original installation [...] you must run the installer again if you wish to add the components later.

(The installer itself is around 30 MB, so, not too bad.)

  • The progress bar got stuck at "Installing", but when I quit the installer (it'll save your progress, don't worry) it showed as installed, and now a Mac section shows up in the New Project wizard. – grooveplex Jan 31 '19 at 22:17
