It seems to be easy enough to create Android and IOS apps on Xamarin in Visual Studio, but I can't see how to create OSX apps. On the Xamarin download page for Windows/VS it states that this 'Includes the following: Mac - Develop Apps with Xamarin.Mac'. May 13, 2017 Step 4 - Multiplatform Xamarin.Forms Application. The Multiplatform Xamarin.Forms App and the Native App project templates now provide you a quick way to create a multiplatform mobile app with cloud back-end. This template will include Xamarin.iOS, Xamairn.Android,. Xamarin.Mac will let you create desktop application in C# targeting Cocoa on macOS. Just like Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android, you can separate your business logic into reusable libraries and create platform specific user interfaces using the native controls.

What Chris said. I recently went through this process with a research application I maintain. It had been primarily a windows app. The process took almost 4 months, but both versions were better for it as I took time to remove a lot of legacy code and create a handful of shared libraries that manage all business logic. Then, all I had to do was create the 'windowing' part -- and that connect it to my libraries.
For sure, if you come from the windows side, you'll find working with AppKit and some of the Apple UI choices interested (at least, I did and still do) -- but the folks on this list were super helpful when I had questions and Mac components have only gotten better during the now, 2 years that I've been using it.

AppKit and some of the Apple UI choices interested (sic)
If you have a background in Windows tech (like WPF) then AppKit will seem down right primitive in places. But given a big enough hammer, you can make it work.
I have the same question. I understand that I can use Xamarin.MAC for native MacOS development, but what about cross-platform desktop applications? I suppose that I can create set Views in Xamarin.Mac and set of Views for Windows (with classic WPF) for Windows desktop? And I can reuse ViewModels, right? Are there any simple examples or templates for that scenario? I am still new to Xamarin and lost a little.
Xamarin Forms is not intended for desktop as far as I understand (UWP is not a solution).
I found this to libraries:
https://github.com/mono/xwt
https://github.com/picoe/Eto/blob/develop/README.mdBut not sure that any of them mature enough for production.
Looking at Xamarin site I have a feeling that you think that desktop is dead..
The only thing about cross-platform desktop development using Xamarin that I have found is 3 years old:

Xamarin.Forms support is coming to macOS:
https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/64805/xamarin-forms-on-mac / https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/85747/xamarin-forms-feature-roadmap/p1
however, it's scheduled for Q2 this year (it's in preview right now).
But writing against Cocoa directly in c# is alive and well.
It's what powers parts of Xamarin Studio, Xamarin Profiler, Xamarin Workbooks, and pretty much every other Xamarin product on macOS to begin with.
As you noted, desktop development isn't as much of a focus on the website as mobile development, but that is a function on market size more than anything. Desktop development on macOS is not as wide scale as mobile development, but the use case is very important for those who need that platform.
I also write about Xamarin.Mac development a bit here - https://medium.com/@donblas
Hi everyone, is there an update on writing desktop apps cross-platform for Windows and MacOs using Xamarin?
What's the status in 2019? It would be nice to see some showcase as well.
