I Can Never Download Symbols! It is SO frustrating!

Every time I start a new AL project, Visual Studio Code always gives me a hard time when I try to download symbols.
 
I am frustrated and have just about had it!
 
Below are my 100% perfect app.json, launch.json, and Hello World files.  These are flawless!!!
 
But, pray tell, what does the application think is wrong?
 
// Welcome to your new AL extension.
// Remember that object names and IDs should be unique across all extensions.
// AL snippets start with t*, like tpageext - give them a try and happy coding!
 
namespace DefaultPublisher.BegAL;
 
using Microsoft.Sales.Customer;
 
pageextension 50100 CustomerListExt extends "Customer List"
{
    trigger OnOpenPage();
    begin
        Message('App published: Hello world');
    end;
}

    Hi, There's a problem with your Launch.json file; the server is for the On-Pre version.
    You can refer to my file below.
    In recent versions, you can obtain this Launch.json setting directly from the Extension Management page.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
