VSCode Avalonia Extension Download .NET Runtime Issue

So I want to start using AvaloniaUI on macOS, but suddenly it always happens.

AvaloniaTeam.vscode-avalonia requested to download the .NET Runtime. Downloading .NET version(s) 8.0.4~arm64 ….Error Failed to download .NET 8.0: Web Request to https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh Failed: n[r].split is not a function. Aborting. Please ensure that you are online.

To solve that, just open the VSCode settings.json and configure it with the following settings.

"dotnetAcquisitionExtension.existingDotnetPath": [
    {
        "extensionId": "ms-dotnettools.csharp",
        "path": "/usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet"
    },
    {
        "extensionId": "ms-dotnettools.csdevkit", 
        "path": "/usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet"
    },
    {
        "extensionId": "visualstudiotoolsforunity.vstuc", 
        "path": "/usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet"
    },
    {
        "extensionId": "AvaloniaTeam.vscode-avalonia", 
        "path": "/usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet"
    },
]

That’s it, now you can use AvaloniaUI on VSCode with auto-complete and everything.
