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

Question

Hi!

I am having BIG 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

I expect to see the standard file menu, but I get the considerably limited menu. Please if you know how to fix it, let me know.

with vs2022

file -> new project:  
    web & console:  
         app:  
               asp.net core  
                     api

or from the shell:

% mkdir myproject  
% cd myproject   
% dotnet new webapi
