Cannot create new ASP.NET Core Web App on Visual Studio (Mac M1)

Question

I am having issues with my visual studio. Using updated VS 2022.

I want to start a new web project (using ASP.NET Core Web API template), but I get only Empty Solution option in the File menu. What could be the problem?

Here's information on my dotnet versioning:

dotnet --info

visual studio for Mac does not have a separate installer program like windows to add additional workloads. If you did not include asp.net core in the install, you will need reinstall vs 2022.
