It's stupid right now. We're talking about doing a a revamp of the way the platform thing works (what we have now was never meant to be the final version), but maybe it woud be worth adding an option for now that just sets a preferred platform? That way, if you specify the platform string correctly and exactly as its set for the gem on the server, it doesn't ask. If you don't specify it or it doesn't match any exactly, it prompts.
