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.

Additional information:
Server details
– Runtime: 12.1
– Web API: 6.0
– Debugger: 6.0

AL extension details

– Supported Web API: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0
– Supported debuggers: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0

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:

  “application“: “23.0.0.0”,
  “runtime“: “12.0”,

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…
