Visual studio 2019 not showing build configuration for shared project..

Question

I've opened my Xamarin Forms project (originally created in VS Mac) in Visual Studio 2019 on Windows.

I've got 3 Projects (App, App.iOS, App.Android). I had created some additional build configurations (Debug-Staging, Release-Staging and Debug-Prod, Release-Prod).

However, when opening in VS 2019, I can only see the standard Debug and Release configurations for the Shared App Project. (additional release configs seem to be there for the iOS and Android ones).

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Based on documentation, I think that Shared projects are not compiled into distinct assemblies. The sources of Shared projects are included into other projects, which reference Shared project (during compilation), therefore you do not have to configure such projects separately.
