Where to download Xamarin.Android(8.3.3) release


I am working with a legacy Xamarin project, unfortunately I took Visual studio latest updates, after which every class under PCL shows "Default system.object is not defined or imported", many such errors.

Upon close inspection I found, in core project all references under .Net Protable subset is missing. Though, the project is compiling, I am not able to use autocomplete feature in core project.

Hence, I decided to downgrade my setup to what it was, I was able to download Visual studio for Mac and Xamarin.iOS early releases fromHere

But, I am not able to find the link to download Xamarin.Android package for Mac.

I tried all manual things, I am not able to get the Xamarin.Android setup done with early release (8.3.3).Error I am getting

Any helps in this regard is highly appreciated.

ScreenShot of errors is attached.
