@MartinZikmund what does it do?

[MartinZikmund]

This should (if it worked) suggest the user to install the Uno Platform extension, unless it is already installed - which is useful if a user opens an external Uno Platform app repository. However, it seems that in the current state it just pops notification about dependency missing, and hitting the Install button then opens an infinite loading VS dialog. Maybe it was a problem on my side though, as I might have installed a dev version of the extension instead of the prod one - need to verify and test it

Created https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/vsconfig-extension-always-displayed-as/10823565 to figure out what is going wrong, until then removing the extension from .vsconfig - #1158

This specific behavior is happening when the installed build is not coming from the marketplace. Is your build a dev one?

[MartinZikmund]

@jeromelaban actually not, I made sure to uninstall and install the latest marketplace version and it still happens (in different versions of VS/different machines) - it really seems like a VS bug
