Insiders on macOS Apple Silicon selects Windows extension builds #330287

Description

@alexr-oai

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: n/a

  • VS Code Version: Code - Insiders 1.133.0-insider (build released August 10, 2026; commit 5a36a9c68ce6300f94225aff5f8db533671af98b)
  • OS: macOS on Apple Silicon

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open the Extensions Marketplace in VS Code Insiders on an Apple Silicon Mac.
  2. Search for openai.chatgpt, ms-vscode.cpptools, or rust-lang.rust-analyzer.
  3. Observe: “This extension is not available in Visual Studio Code - Insiders for the Mac Silicon platform.”

The editor requests incorrect platform-specific extension manifests:

  • openai.chatgpt: win32-arm64
  • ms-vscode.cpptools: win32-ia32
  • rust-lang.rust-analyzer: win32-ia32

All three extensions publish darwin-arm64 builds.

The same Codex extension installs successfully in stable VS Code and through the Insiders CLI.

Expected: The editor selects the available darwin-arm64 extension build.
