Visual Studio 8.9.6 can't authenticate DB on Mac OS 11.2.3

Question

I have a fresh machine with a fresh installation of the latest Visual Studio. I am unable to connect to to the DB from my local api dev env because of DB connect error. I have confirmed that network and DB connection work from a different app, so it's something within VS. I have also followed tips on Known Issues: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releasenotes/vs2019-mac-relnotes#--known-issues

Has anyone else encountered this? I noticed my MacOS version is different than the one listed in the VS Info

I also tried deleting all the "localhost" certificates in Keychain Access and re-adding them with sudo dotnet dev-certs https --clean and dotnet dev-certs https --trust. Did not work.
