"net5.0-windows (and later net6.0-android and net6.0-ios). These TFMs represent OS-specific flavors of .NET 5 that include net5.0 plus OS-specific functionality

  I was surprised by this, too. I've spent the last 20 minutes researching; it seems every time I look away for more than a few minutes, Microsoft changes things up (then leaves nasty comments like didn't you read the FAQ or 'it was explained clearly, .net 5 is a separate language together and individually' https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/177951/future-of-xamarin-and-net-5 https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/177951/future-of-xamar...). My reading of this is that Xamarin has been dropped from .NET 5 and moved to .NET 6, and Microsoft is hoping you don't notice.

This announcement was made in a post announcing a preview release instead of its own post, so I can see why people missed it.

  Sounds more like net5.0-android and net5.0-ios doesn't exist and they will come in net6.0

  There's a table further down in the article that shows more clearly that net6.0-android is part of .NET 6 https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/the-future-of-net-standard/#net-versioning https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/the-future-of-net-stan...

  I think that’s a typo. Their chart further down the page clarifies.
