Hello!

So, I'm just now venturing into Dynamics development, and was trying the hello world example outlined in the docs. I've followed the directions here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-get-started, but I am unable to download reference symbols. Here is my console output:

in most cases following properties have the wrong values (here with sample values), the correct values depend on the used bc release:

"platform": "13.0.0.0",

"application": "13.0.0.0",

"runtime": "2.0"

Thank you so much for your answer, Franz Kalchmair!

I was able to find the platform version in the admin center for my sandbox, and I'm guessing that the application property refers to the version of the Base Application in my dependencies in app.js (correct me if I'm wrong about this, please). But where do I find info about the runtime?

Thank you!

With the latest publicly available AL language extension, when you start a new AL project (AL:Go!)you're prompted to select the D365BC version (platform version) you have and app.json is correctly setted for you:

Target platform 4.0 --> BC 15.x

Target platform 3.0 --> BC 14.x

Target platform 2.0 --> BC 13.x

Yes, but if I choose 4.0 (as my sandbox admin panel says I have platform version 15.2), I'm still unable to download the symbols due to Bad requests.

These files seems correct. Here you're connecting to a primary cloud sandbox. Credentials are ok? The primary cloud sandbox is on version 15.2?

I think I'm authenticating correctly--I'm following the flow that the AL extension dictates in VS Code. I'm basing my guess of the platform version from info I found in the admin center (which has this listed under production):

Version Management

Application version

15.2.39060.0

Platform version

15.2

Update version

Update scheduling available

Earliest update date

Update window (EST, UTC-5:00)

Update window has not been set

Just to update this for posterity:

I had no actual sandbox, just (somehow) a production instance. Once I created a sandbox I received this issue:

failed with code Forbidden. Reason: You do not have the following permissions on TableData NAV App: IndirectRead

But this is a much more concrete issue and has been documented elsewhere on these forums.

Thank you to stefano and archer for helping me think through this!
