[severity:I’m unable to use this version] [regression] [worked-in:2019]
When working with cocoa app project, created with dotnet new macos I can’t add any mac-specific files like xib/window controller/etc.

Steps

• create new cocoa app project with CLI dotnet new macos (you may need to install appropriate project template to do this)
• open project into VS for Mac
• int the solution explorer right-click the project (exactly the project, not a solution) and select Add - New file.
• Observer that it’s no Mac folder in the list + there is no xib and other mac-specific items in any groups available.

Note: if I will create a old-style mono-based non-sdk style cocoa app project with VSfM, I will be able to add mac-specific items.

Screenshot of current "New File" dialog - no mac specific items present

It looks weird that this report of mine was moved from the VS feedback to xamarin issues. Doubly weird as it is already similar issues here (#15691) and on the VS feedback, which are closed in favour of https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Xcode-integration-in-Visual-Studio-2022/1615783

We have multiple duplicate issues floating around, some of them from Developer Community. I've created #15836 as the single issue to track.

Sorry for the trouble.
