Currently Microsoft is updating BC Saas sandboxes to version 23.
When you create a new AL project (AL:Go!), and setup your launch.json and app.json files correctly and then try to download symbols, then you might get this error:
This AL extension version for Visual Studio Code cannot be used with the specified server. Please update the AL extension from the Visual Studio Code marketplace.

The solution or workaround is to switch to the pre-release version of the AL extension in VSCode:
After doing that and reloading the project, you can download symbols without any error.
Also, make sure that in your app.json you have:
and in your launch.json you have the correct environmentName and tenant parameters.
Because when you switch to the pre-release version of the AL extension and then create a new project (AL:Go!) it will use version 24 settings…
This workaround, switching to the pre-release version, imho, is a bug and the error should not happen at all…
Update:
- More information available here: Cannot publish (or debug) to BC 23 through VS code (AL language extension for BC 12.1) · Issue #7554 · microsoft/AL (github.com)
- Debugging a BC Saas sandbox does not seem to work anymore…
