【VSCODE extension】Failed to launch the app: Timeout

Sometimes it takes a few runs for the sim to start.  I see the same thing with eclipse.

100% reproduce. The previous version is fine

I cannot tolerent the old-school ui of eclipse after using Intellij IDEA, but there isn't a plugin. I prefer Vsocde.

I'm just saying I see the exact same thing in VS Code and Eclipse when it comes to starting the sim.

Sorry for the complaint.

After several retries, I started the sim

Yep, I'm seeing the same problem where you sometimes have to run an app several times before it works. Seems to be a problem communicating with the simulator.

I have never seen this issue in the last version vscode plugin. So it has something to do with the current version, I think

TL;DR If you're having this problem consistently, the workaround is to copy the PRG file over to %TEMP%\GARMIN\APPS manually.

I noticed another wrinkle to this problem when I was making changes to an app and building it, but every time I ran the app, an older version was used.

I found that the PRG in the simulator's APPS folder (%TEMP%\GARMIN\APPS on Windows) wasn't being updated -- the simulator was using a stale version.

When I deleted the PRG, then the app completely failed to run with the timeout error. Once I copied over the PRG manually, it started working again. Whenever I change and build the app, I have to manually copy it over otherwise the changes won't be reflected in the simulator.

I'm seeing this behavior consistently with a very specific app, but not others.

However, I am also seeing this problem with the older Monkey C VS Code extension (0.1.13), so maybe it's not exactly the same problem.

EDIT: On MacOS, the folder is $TMPDIR/Garmin/APPS

I created a bug report for this issue. Please upvote if you're seeing this too.
