    Hello Ananda,

    Where are you connecting to ? Cloud sandbox or Your own local BC server ?

    pastedimage1630403394796v1.png

    If you are using BC Onpremise then, check the below  again in a new Project :

    1. Select the correct BC version in VS Code which matches to your BC version
    2. Enable Developer service End point in Config file
    3. Ensure Server name, Server port and Authentication mode are correct in Launch.json file

    If this has answered to your question then please do mark the Suggestion as Answered.

    When you try to download symbol, VS code screen shows a message of a code and asks you to copy and open in browser. There you need to enter the code and authenticate your self.
