Problem Statement: Disclaimer:  This blog is only applicable for Business Central On-Premise Version. If you are stuck in the same issue, try this at your own risk.  I had installed  Business Central v14 (Spring 2019) On-Premise with LS Retail . In this, Business Central comes with a ready made setup to connect with VS Code. As I restored the DB given by LS Retail, I could no longer connect to VS Code. This could be a potential case of  Running C/SIDE and AL Side-by-side  or customising on top of LS Retail. Despite all the configurations being correct in project's app.json and launch.json, I could no longer connect to Business Central, I  couldn't download any Symbols  and I  couldn't publish any Extension  to Business Central.   App.json and Launch.json I checked all BC Administration setup for Development and it seemed to be perfectly fine. I had  Enabled Development Endpoint ,   Development Endpoin...
