"Could not restore packages" in Visual Studio code when opening a project

After each update of MacOS or Visual Studio any project I open throws this error and can't restore packages. It happens in Visual Studio for Mac, the latest version.

Once I had a similar issue when a vpm connection was active, after disabling it Visual Studio had no issues with packages. But this time I don't have any VPN enabled.

For those who is interested, I found a solution to this issue.

  1. Execute this command in terminal for the project dotnet nuget locals --clear all
  2. While the project(solution) is opened in the Visual Studio, double-click on the top file (Solution) > Build > General > check the Build with MSBuild on Mono option.

Microsoft suggests the following if restore is not working:

  1. Select the Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Settings menu command.
  2. Set both options under Package Restore.
  3. Select OK.
  4. Build your project again.

Another suggestion:

Try deleting the project.assets.json file in the obj folder of your project and then right click on the solution and click Restore NuGet Packages again.

If those don't work here are other overflow suggestions: NuGet Package Restore Not Working

Hope this helps!
