"Show Taps" option is not working on LDPlayer? - android-emulator

I am using Android Emulator (LDPlayer 4.0.23).
The "Show Taps" option from Developer Options (Setting-> Developer Options-> Show Taps), doesn't work. It's activated/ON.
Normally when it's activated you will see simple transparent circle when you tap your screen. But it doesn't show in LDPlayer.
Anyone know how to make it work? Or is there any other apps that can be use as replacement?
FYI, I want to create some video tutorial, thus I need to show where I taps on it.

you can try [NoxPlayer] (also an Android Emulator)to show taps and meet your needs. Here is a guide:
First, click Setting in the tool
Second, click About tablet and slide the page to find the Build Number
2
Third, Tap the Build Number 7 times to open the developer option
Fourth, Open the developer option, and then open the Show Touch

I can't find the location to select for the target device in VS Code. (Flutter)

I usually use Android studio for application development with Flutter.
I'm trying to use VSCode, but as the title says, I can't find the selection of the target device I want to run.
For the time being, I selected [Run and Debug] from the icon on the left and executed it, and I was able to run the app on the actual iphone, but I want to run it on macOS.
I would appreciate it if you could tell me where it is.
At the very bottom of your editor, there is a bar, in this bar you should see the name of the currently selected platform, if you click on the platform, you will bring up a menu where you can select the device.
here is a closeup:
In my case you would click on "windows (windows-x64)"
You can also press Ctrl+Shift+P and write Flutter: select device to bring up the same menu

Chrome DevTools: Close Lighthouse-Report

I'm not sure if this is the right location to ask...
I am frequently using Chrome DevTools for debugging. Now I saw that there was a new tab "Lighthouse" and I started to generate a report.
It turned my Webpage into a mobile view. When I close DevTools it resets but every time I restart my Chrome DevTools it automatically turns the Webpage into mobile view.
How do I stop this lighthouse report while still using DevTools?
Although this is about using software (so should probably be on superuser.com) it is an easy one to answer so I will answer then vote to close the question.
In the very top left of the developer tools window you will see two icons. The second icon is for mobile emulation, the one located right next to the "Elements" tab.
On your screen this will be blue as you have it activated, simply click this to remove mobile device emulation.
On Lighthouse itself if you want to test the Desktop version of the site you will see some options before you run the report, you will see "Device" and two radio buttons, just change it to "Desktop"

How to bring back "Add to home" banner for progressive web app after removed the icon from home screen?

The reason - I made a Progressive web app, opened in the browser - all is fine and browser offered me to add it to home screen.
Now, I want to demonstrate this on a presentation, and so - removed the icon from home screen. But for the last whole day I've been playing with the website in chrome a lot, and the banner never appears back.
Is it really a once-in-a-lifetime thing? Or is there something specific I need to do?
The app-install banner prompt is normally presented after you've visited the site at least twice with at least 5 minutes between each visit. Using a Chrome flag, you can bypass these checks so that the banner always appears on every visit:
Open Android Chrome.
Go to chrome://flags/#bypass-app-banner-engagement-checks
Click Enable
Click Relaunch Now
You can also simulate an Add To Homescreen event from Chrome DevTools:
Open Android Chrome on your phone, and navigate to a PWA (e.g., the Paper Planes app from https://paperplanes.world).
Connect to your Android with a USB cable.
From desktop Chrome DevTools, select Menu > More Tools > Remote Devices. OR CTRLSHIFTP (or CMDSHIFTP for macOS), and enter "Remote devices".
Select your phone by name.
Click the Inspect button next to the list item corresponding to your PWA (e.g., Paper Planes).
In the new DevTools pop-up for your PWA, go to the Application panel, and click Add to homescreen. This should cause the app-install banner to appear in Android Chrome. Note the banner won't appear in the Chrome DevTools screen mirror.
(steps above verified with Chrome 55 on macOS Sierra, and Android Chrome 57)
I found another solution - when I go to the settings of chrome mobile and choose History -> Clear browsing data (make sure that the option to clear Cookies is ticked) then click the Clear Data button - after that I get again the app install banner to add the app to the home screen.
Apparently - it clears not only the data itself, but also makes the browser forget everything about this website.
(Strangely - the old icon doesn't go away ... so now I have a few icons on the home screen :D ...)

Overrides page in Chrome Developer Tools gone in latest Canary

In Chrome (version 32.0.1677.0 canary Aura), I can't find the overrides tab/page in the Developer Tools settings. (It used to be placed between the "General" and "Workspace" tabs. Did they move it, or did I forget to enable something?
Hit Esc to open the console drawer, then you can open the Sensors tab via the drawer menu on the left.
Sensors provides geolocation and accelerometer settings.
Additionally, the newer Device Mode captures the basics of mobile device emulation.
Seems like the "Emulation" button only is available from Console, when Console is opened from one of the other tool tabs. Ex. "Source" or "Elements".
Go to "Elements" , click on the "Show console" icon. The "console drawer" will open in bottom part of the window with Console, Search, Emulation tabs. If this is a bug or not is hard to say.
This thread is quite old and everything is now changed with the new "device mode". You cannot use any of this anymore.
As stated here by #paul-irish (from the Chrome DevTools team) on twitter :
one should just activate the device mode, and then use the shift key + drag the mouse around to emulate pinch zoom, with no particular setup.
this pinch to zoom emulation doesn't seem to work very good with JS libs like Hammer.
For now, it is better to test pinch to zoom on actual devices, or with http://browserstack.com

Screenshot of currently running application on IPhone

On the IPhone, is it possible to get a screenshot of the currently running application, from another application that is running/backgrounded/being launched? or somehow make available a screenshot of the current application to another application that is then automatically launched?
No it is not possible. It is not possible to know anything about another apps in iOS (if you're using documented methods).
This is possible using Xcode's Organizer:
in Xcode, select "Window" menu and then "Organizer"
in the newOrganizer window, select "Devices"
select your iPhone device and unfold
select "Screenshots" at the bottom of the list
now click on the "New screenshot" button (bottom right of the window)
You can export screenshots just by drag/drop on your desktop.
