How to load a .net MAUI solution on Visual Studio For Mac 2022 without installing Xamarin.Android? - xamarin.android

I've created a .net MAUI solution on the Mac via the command line:
dotnet new maui -n "MyApp"
When I open this via Visual Studio For Mac 2022, it errors out because Xamarin.Android is not installed.
I'm not interested in supporting Android at this point, and the download for Xamarin.Android is large. Is there any way to load the solution without installing Xamarin.Android?

VS2019 without Windows 8.1 SDK

I'm trying to run an already functional application that requires the Windows 8.1 SDK.
I installed Visual Studio 2019, but there is no option in the 8.1 SDK.
This is for a Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2019 last update.
On my old computer, there was the option to select in "Individual Components", but now no longer the encounter. Does anyone know if there is no such support on VS2019? Or is it necessary to install something more for the support to appear?
This is expected as it is marked as deprecated in Visual Studio 2019:
The Windows 8.1 SDK is no longer available in the Visual Studio
installer. Please upgrade your C++ projects to the latest Windows 10
SDK. If you have a hard dependency on 8.1, you can download it from
the Windows SDK archive.
So download and install the SDK from here.

Build failed with error Remotebuild requires your projects to use cordova-ios 4.3.0 or greater with Xcode 8.3. Please update your cordova-ios version

I am aiming to deploy a mobile application to the iOS platform using codes developed in Visual Studio for an Android phone. I am unable to open the Visual Studio file on my Macbook (macOS High Sierra ver.10.13.6) as Visual Studio here does not seem to support .jsproj files. As such, I have attempted following the instructions in the link below to run a remotebuild on my mac while debugging codes and seeing an iOS simulator on my Windows computer.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/cross-platform/tools-for-cordova/first-steps/ios-guide?view=toolsforcordova-2017#run-on-simulator
I was able to get the remotebuild running, however, I came across the error where it required my projects to use cordova-ios 4.3.0 or greater with Xcode 8.3. As my windows computer does not have Xcode, I turned to my macbook and tried updating and adding the Cordova iOS platform through the terminal, where it said "Current working directory is not a Cordova-based project." I have searched the error up and it said that it required my Visual Studio project to be open, which I am unable to do so as my file is not supported in the Mac version of Visual Studio.
The iOS version in my Windows Visual Studio is currently 4.2.0 and I am unsure how to get about updating it. I have seen the link below but in only applies to Macbook, where I cannot open the Visual Studio project file.
Install specific version of Cordova CLI in Visual Studio 2017
I have installed node.js as well as Git, also attempting to include/update the Cordova iOS platform through the command prompt (Once again unsure if that was the method, but I tried), however, the command prompt did not recognise the update to cordova. Under the toolset in Visual Studio, I have tried ticking on the checkbox under Cordova platforms to take the latest patch, where ~4.2.0 appears, but still does not update.
I am still new to coding and things seem very foreign to me, if I have missed out anything vital or am doing something fatally wrong, please do enlighten me.

how to repair Xamarin studio

I have already install Xamarin Studio 6.0
Now I Want to install Xamarin.android for android apps development (because checkbox is disabled).
How I can modify this component.
As far as I know, Microsoft Visual Studio for Mac now completely replaced Xamarin Studio. Last version of Xamarin Studio I had installed was marked as damaged or corrupted on my Mac so I just moved it into Trash and installed Visual Studio for Mac. After that I was able to install new versions of Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS et cetera.

How do I add sdk tools manually to android studio

I downloaded android studio without sdk tools, but I have them already from the eclipse IDE
I want to manually place them where they should be, as when I open android studio it starts downloading the sdk tools automatically, but my data pack is running out, I can't download it!.
Where should I place the sdk tools folder in the android studio files, so that it doesn't attempt to install the sdk tools automatically and just launch the studio directly.
you can setup in first setting.. first time you opened android studio..
android studio will ask which sdk you will use
I reinstalled the software and added the sdk in install configuration process

Windows Installer project is unsupported in Visual Studio 11 BETA

It says that my windows installer project is unsupported. "ProjectType" = "8:{978C614F-708E-4E1A-B201-565925725DBA}" is in vdproj file. Can i work with it in VS11 beta?
You can still use Windows Service project. It is installer that is not supported by VS11. Accoring to Visual Studio team, old VS Install and Deploy projects (*.vdproj) will not be supported in any future releases starting with VS11. Migrate to WIX.
I encountered the same issue with trying to open a installer package sent to me via another developer, apparently I needed to install the appropriate version of (in Visual Studio):
Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects
To open this type of project. Once I did that I was able to open this project type.
