VSCode on Linux not loading .csproj file, outputs error : Some projects have trouble loading. Please review the output for more details

Mono is installed, everything is installed, but it can't load the .csproj file from Unity. Outputs an error:

Attempted to update project that is not loaded: /E/projects/My project/Assembly-CSharp.csproj
Am I missing anything? C# extensions are installed along with Unity extensions. Mono is also installed. I'm using Arch Linux, latest version and installed visual-studio-code-bin. Unity > External Tools > Generate .csproj files for Local packages.

This workaround on github comment fixed it for me.
Set the VS Code omnisharp setting "Use Modern Net" to true.
(This also entails installing dotnet sdk 6.x, and from what I see uses that version to build the projects, not sure if that breaks stuff for people using previous versions.)
Here's a screenshot of the extension settings:

How to fix ''Gradle Build Failed'' on Unity?

I'm trying to build my android app for a while and can't seem to find any solution for this problem:

Unity Version: Unity 2020.3.21f1 (64-bit)
JDK, SDK, NDK and Gradle used are Unity's recommended ones (already tried to use other ones).

I already tried all tutorials on youtube and other forums, but every help is welcome, thanks!
Edit 1:
After trying Jaimin's solution this is happening now:
Assets/Plugins/Android\gradleTemplate.properties file is using a deprecated way of controlling which tool should be used to do the minification. To fix this, remove "useProguard" entries yourself. If not fixed, your build can fail.

And here's how the Custom Gradle Properties Template file is coded:
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx**JVM_HEAP_SIZE**M
org.gradle.parallel=true
unityStreamingAssets=.unity3d**STREAMING_ASSETS**
**ADDITIONAL_PROPERTIES**

This is because android.enableR8 is deprecated. To remove it from your gradle.properties file you have to go to Project Settings > Player > Android (Tab) > Other Settings > and check Custom Gradle Properties Template.
After that, a gradleTemplate.properties file is generated at:
Assets/Plugins/Android/gradleTemplate.properties
In this file, remove line android.enableR8, or comment it out, and now make new fresh build.
This trick should work.
Alternatively, export as an Android project and then change it in Android Studio. In Android Studio, you have more control on these things.

Install a new version of Unity, it will work
You can use the Unity 2020.3.33f1 version, that's the one I use, and it works fine.
Remember to set to Preferences: Unity default JDK, Gradle, NDK

I have seen in a lot of places and the issue is really painfull. In my case, my problem it was that there was an old CSharp interface of mine incorrect that wasn't in my csproj, so I couldn't see in my Visual Studio.
As Unity doesn't care about csproj, it uses it in compilation. I just noticed because of an inexistent java issue shown in Console window (because of Android, the CSharp was converted to Java and for this reason Graddle threw the issue).
Try to find in your CSharp program some class that doesn't appear in Solution Explorer in Visual Studio and remove or fix it.
Also, I followed the fix indicated above by Jaimin. It didn't work for me, but I left like that. It makes way more sense with it.

Try This
For Windows
go to the location
"C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.1.24f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\build-tools\31.0.0"
find a file named d8.bat. This is a Windows batch file.
rename d8.bat to dx.bat.
in the folder lib ("C:\ProgramFiles\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.1.24f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\build-tools\31.0.0\lib")
rename d8.jar to dx.jar
Remember AppData is a hidden folder. Turn on hidden items to see the AppData folder.
Now run your project...

May be late, but I've fixed that issue by deleting the playcore.arr file from Assets/GooglePlayPlugins/com.google.play.core/Runtime/Plugins

Cause of issue: If you are using an older version of the plugin (current version 2.4), there is an issue with the Gradle file that was included (was meant for older versions of Unity). Newer versions of Unity ship with a new version of Gradle which is causing the compile errors where Unity throws an error “Unable to build gradle”.
To resolve: Open your file explorer and navigate into the project Assets > Plugins > Android and delete the mainTemplate.gradle file.

Xamarin.Forms and ServiceStack exception - Couldn't bind to method 'CertStoreLookup'

We have a Xamarin.Forms android and ios app which has been performing well for a number of years now. The latest version has been in prod since early 2017, and has had very few crashes. Until recently!
One of our android clients started getting exceptions when connecting to our ServiceStack powered API service. Now our API service hasn't been changed since the App deployment (Jan 2017), and we've just started getting these errors in Dec 2017.
The details from the app logging on their device reveal the following.

I have been able to reproduce this error, but only in a release build. It all works fine in DEBUG mode, when using the Shared Runtime Framework. So it's leading me to think that the release build packaging of Android is removing something that Android requires, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.
Version Info
VS2017 15.5.6
Xamarin 4.8.0.760
Xamarin.Android SDK 8.1.5.0
Xamarin.Forms v1.5.0.6447 (in PROD)
ServiceStack.Client (PCL proj via NuGet) 4.0.40 (in PROD)
Installed SDK's
8.0.0(26), 7.1.1(25), 7.0(24), 6.0(23), 5.01(21), 4.4.2(19),
Build Config
Target Framework: 6.0 (v23)
Minimum SDK: 4.0.3 (v15)
**DEBUG**
Use Shared Runtime : true
Use Fast Deploy : false
Linking: SDK Assemblies only
**RELEASE**
Use Shared Runtime : false
Use Fast Deploy : false
Linking: none
I've been trying many things..
I've updated the Target Framework to 7.1 with minimum to 5.0, removed all Xamarin and ServiceStack references, and then installed the new ones that target the framework level.
Everything always works in DEBUG, but not in RELEASE.
Would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone could supply..
TIA.
EDIT
After performing the steps suggested by #mahmoud-kamel, I get the following errors for the RELEASE build.

This turned out to be a mismatch of assemblies referenced by the project.
After looking at the internals of the System.dll's in the bin/debug and bin/release folders, and comparing those of a new project from VS template, we were able to determine that after the project was upgraded to use the latest SDK, MSBuild wasn't retrieving the SYSTEM.dll from the correct ReferenceAssemblies folder location.
Doing a search for "ReferenceAssemblies" on my pc brings up about 4 locations!
The correct location (on my pc) is the following folder, with the Android version number folder (eg. "v8.0".
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\Microsoft\Framework\MonoAndroid\
I hope this helps someone and saves them the hours I spent on this!

put Target framework to the latest and the minimum is version 16
right click on Android project then go to options make sure that Release mode in linker tab and choose link SDK Assemblies only
save all changes then clean all solution , close the project and visual studio
go to folder of project then delete bin, obj folders
open visual studio , and try to start deploy project in release mode
