title: Visual Studio 2015 Community Xamarin Cross-Platform templates missing
body: <p>I installed Visual Studio 2015 Community Update 3 with Xamarin, updated Xamarin and everything was working fine.</p>
  
  <p>But suddenly, the Xamarin Cross-Platform templates went missing when I tried to create a new project. </p>
