Before having started doing anything to a new project I get this error. I get squiggly lines under #include <Adafruit_SSD1306>

main

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306>

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
}
void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

platformio.ini

[env:esp32dev]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32dev
framework = arduino
lib_deps = 
	adafruit/Adafruit SSD1306
	adafruit/Adafruit GFX Library@^1.10.13

I looked in the c_cpp_properties.json file of another project and discovered that two lines were missing from this failing project. I added them but the error didn’t go away. The lines point to libraries in .pio.libdeps.

Have you made sure to use the project envrionment switcher to switcth to the esp32dev of the target project and also did aa Ctrl+Shift+P → Rebuild Intellisense? This should update the c_cpp_properties.json accordingly. The file is auto-generated, so it shouldn’t be me manually modified.

I got the message “multiple requests to rebuild the project” and it sounded ominous so I deleted the project, reloaded VC and started all over. I now know what mistake I made but that problem is gone now. The new error I got is strange considering I haven’t done anything, just adding two libraries and adding no code at all.
Code

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>

void setup() {
}
void loop() {
}

Platformio.ini

[env:esp32dev]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32dev
framework = arduino
lib_deps = 
	adafruit/Adafruit SSD1306@^2.5.1
	adafruit/Adafruit GFX Library@^1.10.13

Further add

   adafruit/Adafruit BusIO@^1.11.1

to the lib_deps.
