Yes, this is also the case in the latest Visual Studio 2019 v16.10 Preview 1

This is fixed on Visual Studio 2019 v16.10 Preview 2. The workaround is to open an existing binding library instead of creating a new one. If anybody's interested I can create one and paste a zip here. (Edit: attached)

Visualstudio 16.9.2 , no Class Liberay(Android), no Binding Library. I'm so tired to xamarin for these bug.

VS（windows）版本，v16.9.x 版本需要在设置中关闭某个功能，才能在新建项目中看到Xamarin.Android 绑定库，类库等选项

Thanks @wangyankun33!

Unchecking the Show all .NET Core templates in the New project dialog option will make the template show up.

Blank solution is also gone in the stable release. Crazy how VS team is doing updates

Thanks @wangyankun33!

Unchecking the Show all .NET Core templates in the New project dialog option will make the template show up.

Disable Show all .NET Core templates in the New project dialog worked for me, thanks

Templates were added back in the latest stable version (16.9.4).

Yep, this should be fixed in 16.9.4:
