Finish templates

[jonathanpeppers]

The basic templates for xamarin-macios are implemented in:

• PR: .NET 6 templates for iOS, macOS, tvOS, & MacCatalyst #10741
• Issue: .NET 6: add base templates to match Android #10252

This gets the basic templates matching what we have for Android.

For .NET 6 GA, we would potentially need more changes:

1. Every template in VS today needs an equivalent template for .NET 6: unless we decide to drop some of them.
2. We might be able to make use of the new MSBuild project properties and omit values in Info.plist

Equivalent issue on the xamarin-android side: dotnet/android#5672

  • Blazor app doesn't exist in legacy Xamarin
• macOS
  • Port over the current macOS template: already covered by the existing tvos template: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/tree/main/dotnet/Templates/Microsoft.tvOS.Templates/tvos
• tvOS
  • Single View App: already covered by the existing macos template: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/tree/main/dotnet/Templates/Microsoft.macOS.Templates/macos

@ThisIsKirsch to discuss with PM team on Games templates.

We've decided to not add more templates for now, and re-evaluate after the release.

There have been no requests for more templates, so I'm closing this.
