I'm just getting into Xamarin Forms based app development and most of the articles -- if not all -- that I've come across suggest I create a new Xamarin Forms project using Portable Class Library (PCL) approach.
I'm running the latest version of Visual Studio 2017 15.5.1 and when I start a new Xamarin Forms project, I get the following screen with no PCL option.
Am I missing something?

PCL projects target specific profiles that support a known set of BCL classes/features.
Creating a Shared Project To create a new Shared Project, navigate to File > New > Project. In Visual Studio 2019, enter shared in the search box on the Create a new project page. Select the Shared Project template and then select Next. Enter a name for the project, and then select Create.
Portable Library Tools is a new Visual Studio add-in from Microsoft that enables you to create C# and Visual Basic libraries that run on a variety of . NET-based platforms without recompilation.
You Can Select .Net Standard. it is Replacement of PCL.
