Why Xamarin Workload on VS 2022 Community is not installing ?
I have been using Visual Studio Community 2022 and I added Xamarin workload but, at each attempt I keep running into following warning: Error on VS 2022 Community
This is the error on VS Community 2022 Pre-Release Error on VS 2022 Community Pre-Release
Both the errors state, Something went wrong with the install.

You can troubleshoot the package failures by:
1. Search for solutions using the search URL below for each package failure
2. Modify your selections for the affected workloads or components and then retry the installation
3. Remove the product from your machine and then install again
If the issue has already been reported on the Developer Community, you can find solutions or workarounds there. If the issue has not been reported, we encourage you to create a new issue so that other developers will be able to find solutions or workarounds. You can create a new issue from within the Visual Studio Installer in the upper-right hand corner using the "Provide feedback" button.

**As An Alternative after going through a couple of articles ** I came to know that Xamarin is now available as MAUI under Visual Studio Pre-Release. Therefore, I ended up installing VS 2022 Community Pre-Release, only to find out that it doesn't solve the problem I am facing. Logs from VS Community 2022:

After this, I have verified Xamarin Projects are not visible while creating a new project.
I have also gone through the available help on:
