Issue selecting device before going to simulator

I'm about to go testing a new watch face for devices, but now it is somehow different. When I press ctrl-f5 I don't get a list of devices from my manifest, but it goes straight to the latest selected device. I need to restart VSC to test every next device from my manifest. What am I missing?

    Build the project manually before running it: open the command palette (CTRL-SHIFT-P) and select "Monkey C: Build Project". This will always prompt you to select a device, which will be used on the next simulator run.

    CTRL-F5 (run without debugging) and F5 (run with debugging) will automatically build the project if changes are present, but the previously selected device is remembered. (If you press CTRL-F5 / F5 after starting VS Code but before building the project manually, you will of course be prompted once to select a device.)

    If you would like to be prompted for a device on every run, create a launch.json file: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/debugtest/debugging-configuration#_create-a-debug-configuration-file 

    When a launch.json file exists, CTRL-F5 / F5 will prompt you for a device every time.

    Additionally, you can manually customize launch.json to create run commands for the devices of your choice.
