Framework = arduino, espidf - can't build on versions < 5.2.0

I need help building specific espidf version (4.1.0) with Arduino component (using VSCode with Platformio plugin)

I can get both 5.2.0 and 5.3.0 working like this (including using menuconfig, everything working correctly):

platform = espressif32@5.2.0
board = esp32cam
board_build.partitions = partitions.csv
framework = arduino, espidf
monitor_speed = 115200

But if I try to specify an earlier version like this:

platform = espressif32@4.1.0
board = esp32cam
board_build.partitions = partitions.csv
framework = arduino, espidf
monitor_speed = 115200

I get fatal error: Arduino.h: No such file or directory:

It looks like with earlier versions platformio is not even trying to compile the platform framework?
Is there a different way to compile for earlier versions?

Platform version does not equal ESP-IDF version. platform = espressif32@4.1.0 will give you this release and with it

Hi @maxgerhardt,
Thanks for the clarification! I misspoke earlier - I do want to build platform version 4.1.0 (not espidf version). The version I specified is the correct version I want to build, but my issue is that the build fails. I am trying to figure out why and how to fix it. Any tips on how I can get to the bottom of this?
