Can't install

[emil14]

release version of 'ms-vscode.wasm-wasi-core' extension because it has no release version.

+1, my WIP extension at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=floooh.vscode-kcide also suffers from this.

I basically need to remove the extensionDependency field from my package.json and ask the user to install the pre-release version manually, otherwise my extension won't install at all. It would be nice if there would be a more user-friendly solution (maybe switch the extension to "preview" instead to make clear that it is still under construction?

Alternatively is there a way to define a pre-release version as extensionDependency in my package.json? I haven't found a way to do this so far.

Btw, one workaround to the problem is to publish your own extension which depends on the ms-vscode.wasm-wasi-core as pre-release. Then installing this pre-release version of your own extension will also install the pre-release version of ms-vscode.wasm-wasi-core without errors. When using the insiders version of VSCode, the pre-release seems to be picked automatically, in the regular VSCode version it must be explicitely selected.
