Can't edit LaunchScreen.storyboard on Visual Studio - ios

I have a Xamarin.Forms app, and am trying to publish the iOS app in it. I'm following the Xamarin tutorial here for the launch screen.
In steps 6 and 7 it assumes there is some View on the screen. I don't see one. This is what I have:
When I try to drag an Image View as mentioned in the tutorial - I get a "do not enter" symbol on the Image View. (I assume, because I first need the default View there.)
What now? (I'm using VS2017 on Windows 10 Pro.)

Just add ViewController and go from there

Drag and drop ViewController to LaunchScreen.storyboard

How to find Image View for Xcode 10.1

I have following this documentation here:
https://medium.com/handlebar-labs/how-to-add-a-splash-screen-to-a-react-native-app-ios-and-android-30a3cec835ae
which is pretty useful up to the point:
We then want to add an Image View to our splash screen. You can find
that by pressing the third option in the bottom right menu and
searching for “image”. When you’ve got that drag it onto the blue
View.
I am using Xcode 10.1 and I know a lot of online resources are from Xcode 8 and 9. Can anyone guide me to how to pull up that Image View for Xcode 10.1?
This is what I am currently seeing:
This is what I would like to see:
I have kicked the tires, looked around for over 20 minutes and I see nothing that pulls up Image View so I can choose the image I desire for the splash screen.
It's under the Library.
Refer to the following images (Xcode 10.3):
Update
Or, as pointed out by the OP in the comments, the Library can also be opened via menu:
View / Libraries / Show Library (⇧⌘L)

Live preview in Xcode

Is there a way to preview my changes live in Xcode? For example, I have button that I moved 5 pixels to the right, and I want to see the result that I build my app to see the result on the simulator. Is it possible to view the changes without running the app every time?
EDIT: See Apple docs
Create a new playground and use a 'singleView' as your template. From there on you can see your changes live.
The good thing is that the template already has a label. You can either build on top of that or remove it and add your own views.
Just make sure you click on View >> Assistant Editor >> Show Assistant Editor otherwise you won't see the view.
If you want to make your changes in Xcode then you have to use IBInspectable & IBDesignable which require a bit more work. See this video and this post
you can see your storyboard changes by opening your Assistant Editor and then select preview, here you can select the device as well in which you want to see the changes.
but if you design you view by code then the only option is to run the code and see changes in the simulator or real device.

Swift "show segue" is not available when Ctrl Drag a button on View Controller

I'm having a very hard time here.
I created an iOS App in which I have a Navigation controller and a main screen showing a device list and now I'd like to add a detailed view. My issue is, I can't create a segue with action "Show" - the Interface Builds in Xcode only provides options "Push", "Modal" and "Custom"
I'm an absolute beginner in Swift (or for that Apple) development and each and every tutorial I found with google, says, I'd simply have to Ctrl-Click the button, drag it to the new view controller and choose "show" - but there is no :-(
I'm attaching a picture, so you might see more clearly.
Please, if someone could help me out here.
Is my problem caused by choosing Single View Application in the project???
I'm using Xcode 8, Swift 3 and developing for iOS 10 on iPhone
You are likely using the old Xcode storyboard layout, to go back to modern layout:
select Main.storyboard, go to file inspector and check the Use Auto Layout and Use Trait Variations boxes.

Cannot drag and drop image from Media library onto a view controller in Xcode Interface Builder

I'd like to reference this question, but even though I am zoomed in to a view controller, on some occasions there is just no way of adding drag-dropping an image from the Media library onto a view controller. What's going on? Xcode 6.3.2.
When this does not work, I have found out that closing and opening the right tab (Utilities) does help. It's like it does not refresh the contents of the media library properly if not doing this close-open trick. I can confirm that this problem is still in Xcode 6.4 that was released yesterday.
