Android SDK is not working in my .NET Maui app in Visual Studio Code but it works in Visual Studio for Mac for the same .NET Maui app

I always get the same message in Visual Studio Code when I create a new .NET MAUI app: Android SDK: Install required

ACTION REQUIRED:

• The required Android SDK components need to be installed. You can install them from the command palette by choosing ‘.NET MAUI:
  Configure Android’, selecting ‘How to configure Android’, and
  following the instructions. Take into account that the Maui Android
  SDK recommends specific component versions and if you decide to not
  use them the build/debug may not work well.
• Another option is to use the Android SDK Manager tool from Visual Studio to install the Android Sdk components.
• Alternatively, you can try installing the components by opening a Terminal, navigating to directory
  ‘/Users/name/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx/cmdline-tools/7.0/bin’
  and then running: ‘sdkmanager "build-tools;34.0.0"’. Licenses needs
  to be accepted running: ‘sdkmanager –licenses –verbose’. After that,
  please verify if the android-sdk-license file exist into the licenses
  directory on
  ‘/Users/name/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx’. If this
  keeps failing, please try deleting the licenses folder and accepting
  the licenses again.

I have tried to install the Android SDK in Visual Studio Code but it was still not working.

Then I created a new .NET Maui app in Visual Studio for Mac and the Android SDK was automatically installed and the app was running on my Android tablet. After that I opened the folder of this app in Visual Studio Code but then I still get the same message Android SDK: Install required.

Why is the Android SDK not working in Visual Studio Code? I use macOS Sonoma 14.2 and I have an Intel iMac.

UPDATE:

I installed the Android SDK in Visual Studio for Mac. The following things are installed in Visual Studio for Mac:

But I still get the same error in Visual Studio Code when I open my Android project in Visual Studio Code. Why is my Android project not working in Visual Studio Code?
