    I solve that by changing the default editor in visual studio :

    1. In Visual : File > Open
    2. In the open file box : Select a .xaml file (don't open it)
    3. Select 'Open with' in the button arrow
    4. Select 'Source Code (Text) Editor and Set as Default
    5. Click OK

    If you haven't already, you should try Visual Studio 2017 version 15.7 or higher. It contains significant improvements to the XAML editing experience:

    ​In my case, the solution to the IntelliSense on Xamarin XAML files was tied to NuGet package references, I think especially the Xamarin.Forms package. If you have the yellow warning symbol on your packages, you have to get through the following steps on your specific project:
    ​
    ​- Make sure it builds without errors

    • Pass an MSBuild /restore [path to the specific project] in CL
      ​- Pass a .nuget restore at your solution in CL

    • Close and reopen your solution

    • Right-click on the concerned XAML file > Open With.. > Make sure to have'XAML Designer' or 'Xamarin.Forms Previewer' set to default for XAML files

    You should now have IntelliSense.

    ​
    ​In my case, that made the yellow warnings disappear, then XAML IntelliSense worked again on Xamarin.Forms files

The XAML Previewer is available in Visual Studio and Visual Studio for Mac. You can now edit common attributes for your Xamarin.Forms controls in the property panel for Visual Studio 2019 on Windows. Open the property panel by going to View → Properties Window.
