Can't create an app on Xamarin with Visual Studio 2015

Question

I am trying to lean a little with Xamarin, and while trying to create an Blank App it appears this error in the image:

I've already tried to repair the installation, already tried to change the .NET Framework in the project, tried to install the packages and when I do, this happens

Could someone please help me fix this? Sorry if i'm making some rookie mistake, I'm really new at this. Thanks!

That's odd. It is trying to install version 5.0.1-beta-23516 of Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform . On my end it installs version 5.0.0 and that works seamlessly. What version of Xamarin are you on? Can you try using the latest stable version of Xamarin for VS? In Visual Studio, navigate to menu Tools->Options and scroll down to expand the Xamarin section and select Other . Choose Stable from the drop down menu and click Check Now . If updates to that channel are available, you will get a dialog to download and install the updates. Make sure Stable is also selected in the drop down in that dialog.
