Service Fabric App Deployment Not Creating Service

Question

When I deploy my service fabric app to my local cluster via Visual Studio 2017, my service is not getting created. I have to manually go into the Service Fabric Explorer and click create. Why?

Background: I did some project re-naming and moving folders around. I think that broke this as it used to work.

Can you check the output window in VS as you deploy? You'll see the powershell commands fly by, and likely an error. — LoekD
I almost posted that. I didn't see anything. Let me update my question. @LoekD — spottedmahn

In ApplicationManifest.xml I had to define the <DefaultServices> I wanted:

<DefaultServices>
    <!-- The section below creates instances of service types, when an instance of this 
         application type is created. You can also create one or more instances of service type using the 
         ServiceFabric PowerShell module.

         The attribute ServiceTypeName below must match the name defined in the imported ServiceManifest.xml file. -->
    <Service Name="Identity">
      <StatelessService ServiceTypeName="IdentityService" InstanceCount="[Identity_InstanceCount]">
        <SingletonPartition />
      </StatelessService>
    </Service>
</DefaultServices>
