Unity and Playfab error,Playfab and Unity errors

I installed the unitysdk and unityeditorextensions packages to my unity project. When I open the script in visual studio, I get this error:

The type or namespace name 'PlayFab' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I wrote using Playfab; at the beginning, that's where I get this error. The code works and it does what it is supposed to do.

I installed the unitysdk.unitypackage and the editor extensions package to my unity project. When I open my script with visual studio, I get this error:
The type or namespace name 'PlayFab' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The code works as expected, the only problem is that I get these errors in visual studio.

You can try to navigate to Visual Studio->[File]->[Move Assets\XXXX\XXXX.cs into], then choose the [Assembly-CSharp] in the menu, to fix such issues temporarily.

Sometimes the script files in the Unity projects cannot be linked to correct .net projects in Visual Studio. The possible reason that causes this issue is you have not set the Visual Studio as the External Script Editor for Unity. You can try to navigate to Unity->[Editor]->[Preferences...]->[External Tools], then choose the Visual Studio as the External Script Editor to set it.

More advanced problems about Unity and its External Script Editor, please navigate to the Unity developer forum for professional supports.

@Hancu David

I am working with Visual Studio Code as External Script Editor and was having this error multiple times. By settings this in Unity Preferences it solved it for me.

I am not sure when Unity added this setting. I am using Unity 2020.3.11f1


Maybe this will help somebody ;)
