I am trying to set up my Q# environment in VSCode, yet I keep getting an error when running the boilerplate code. I have followed the instruction found here.
The error I am getting is the following:
Unhandled exception: System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'Microsoft.Quantum.Simulator.Runtime' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES environment variable: dlopen(libMicrosoft.Quantum.Simulator.Runtime, 1): image not found

What could be the cause of this error? I've tried to find a solution online, but to no avail.
UPD: When I change the SDK version in my .csproj file from 0.28.263081 to some older ones (like 0.26.233415) the script runs just fine. I tried running
dotnet add package Microsoft.Quantum.Sdk --version 0.28.263081
but the error still remains. When I try to use Q# with Python I still get the same error because I haven't found a way to set a specific SDK version in Python. Preferably I would like a fix that allows me to use the latest version but a workaround that would allow me to run Python + Q# even in an older version would also be valuable.
