After the first step of creating a new project and specifying its initial details, is there a way to change afterwards the ESP32 type eg ESP32S2/S3/C3 via the VisualGDB project settings or any way?
I tried to find how this can be done but I could not, am I mising simething obvious ?
It looks like you are using ESP-ADF, not the regular ESP-IDF, and there was indeed a bug in VisualGDB preventing it from showing the device list for ADF projects.
