View Designer in Crossplatform project in Visual Studio 2017 don't work

A few days ago install visual studio 2017 enterprise.

When I create a C# Crossplatform project, portable, I find that I can't use the "View Designer" to create the UI of the application. I can manually edit the .xaml file, but it's crazy. The message that gives me Visual Studio is:

"The editor is not available for" C: \ ... \ MainPage.xaml. Make sure the application for the file type (.xaml) is installed"

On the other hand, when I created a C# Android project or C# iOS the designer works perfectly.

I clarify that I am working on a clean installation of Windows 10 Pro, completely updated, and Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise with a MSDN license, also, completely updated.

Someone who has gone through the same, or who knows how to solve it?

Unfortunately there is not still a designer for cross-platform XAML: only hand write. Visual Studio XAML designer, work only with WPF.
