Hello
When I'm downloading all symbols in vs code I don't see other extensions than Microsoft Application, Base App, Microsoft System Application, and Microsoft Application. I don't see objects from any extensions even extensions that I published myself which works in BC.
I have the same question (0)

    To be able to download other extensions, you need to include them in your app.json as part of the dependencies.
    Example below:
     
    {
      "id": "",
      "name": "Test",
      "publisher": "That NAV Guy",
      "version": "1.0.0.0",
      "brief": "Test",
      "description": "Test",
      "privacyStatement": "",
      "EULA": "https://thatnavguy.com",
      "help": "https://thatnavguy.com",
      "url": "https://thatnavguy.com",
      "logo": "logo.jpg",
      "screenshots": [],
      "platform": "20.0.0.0",
      "application": "20.0.0.0",
      "idRanges": [
        {
          "from": 50000,
          "to": 50011
        }
      ],
      "dependencies": [
        {
          "id": "dd0be2ea-f733-4d65-bb34-a28f4624fb14",
          "publisher": "Microsoft",
          "name": "Library Assert",
          "version": "15.0.0.0"
        },
        {
          "id": "e7320ebb-08b3-4406-b1ec-b4927d3e280b",
          "publisher": "Microsoft",
          "name": "Any",
          "version": "15.0.0.0"
        },
      ],
      "resourceExposurePolicy": {
        "allowDebugging": true,
        "allowDownloadingSource": true,
        "includeSourceInSymbolFile": true
      },
      "runtime": "10.0"
    }

    Hii There,
    As per your described, you will only get 4 base Microsoft packages only. Other then that packages which are provided by Microsoft you need to add that package file ID,Name,Publisher,Version details in App.Json in dependencies. You will get the package. you can use that code as per that package resourceExposurePolicy.
     
    Mark this answered if you found answer.
     
    Thank You.

    You need to include the different extensions you want to download in the dependencies property in the app.json file
