I just received my ChromeCast and I am wanting to start developing with it. The problem is that in order to integrate it into your app and use it for testing, your device must be whitelisted. This process can take up to 5 days and it should be just a simple form to request whitelisting:
https://developers.google.com/cast/whitelisting
My issue is that in order to register it, I need to retrieve the device's MAC address from the Debug view. To access the Debug view I have to enable "Developer Mode". Step 2 in the process states:
On the Apps label, click seven (7) times. The message, "developer mode
enabled" appears.
but inside the ChromeCast app there is no Apps label? Has anyone figured out how to turn on developer mode yet?
--UPDATE--
The original instructions on the Whitelisting page were meant for the Android App and I was using the Mac app. Inside the ChromeCast Android app, if you click the Apps label 7 times it does enable Developer Mode.
In the Mac version you can find the Chromecast MAC address in Device Settings.
Plug in your Chromecast - make sure it has power and is setup. Download the free "Chromecast" app from Google Play.
The app will find any devices on the network. As of this writing the app will show what devices it finds at the top of the screen. At the bottom it show's "Apps" including YouTube, Netflix an Google Play Movies & TV.
If you tap on the "Apps" header 7 times it will put the device into Developer Mode as described.
The Windows version of the chromecast app shows the MAC address to the left of the help button in the device specific screen even without developer mode.
In new ChromeCast app click on DEVICES Tab 7 times. It will enable devloper mode.

I need to connect the avd wear emulator with my smartphone. When I searched the documentation for this at this link https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/get-started/creating#pair-phone-with-avd ,it said go to settings then device setting then tap emulator. I don't understand which settings and device settings it is talking about. The wear os app in my phone keeps showing "waiting for the emulator to connect". I am really stuck at this. Any help would be highly appreciated.
You can use Android Studio pairing assistant.
From document:
From the device dropdown in Android Studio, click Wear OS emulator
pairing assistant. Select a phone and a Wear AVD to pair with one
another. If none are available, click View AVD Manager to set up a
phone or watch AVD. Then click Next.
Android Studio attempts to launch and set up a bridge between the two
devices. If you do not have the Wear OS app installed on the phone,
you will be prompted to download the Companion app from the Play
Store.
If prompted, open the Companion app once it is downloaded. On the
phone, in the Wear OS app, begin the standard pairing process. For
example, on the welcome screen, tap the Set It Up button.
Alternatively, if an existing watch is already paired, in the upper
left drop-down, tap Add a New Watch. On the phone, in the Wear OS app,
tap the Overflow button, and then tap Pair with Emulator.

This feature is only available for Android 11+
It finally worked. I enabled the developer options in my avd emulator and enabled adb debugging and debugging over bluetooth from the developer options. Then followed the steps and the avd emulator connected with my phone. Thanks #selcukokuyucu for your help but unfortunately I have android 7.1.1 in my smartphone.

Ps : I tried to factory reset all the occulus device and create new account with facebook connect it to tha oculus App but still the same problem
I had a similar problem where I couldn't find the developer mode option in the headset settings of my Oculus app on my iPhone. I saw the pinned comment on this video which said that as of Feb 2021, Oculus requires developers who have an Oculus developer account to verify their accounts using their credit/debit card. I went to my Oculus account, profile>payment methods. I then added my credit card and now the Developer mode option appears on my phone app! Turn this on and if you do adb devices on your terminal your quest headset should show up.
I am a trainee android developer who needed to activate developer's mode and USB debugging on my Infinix m8. The option("Build Number") is either hidden or unavailable in "About Device" under "Settings". I need help on how to either make the option visible or activate developer's mode without Build Number. Thank you.
USB Debugging has already been activated on the phone. The option to do that is not available under About Phone.
How to open Developer Options in INFINIX Zero 4 X555:
The device must be turned on, so hold down the Power key for a short while.
In the next step from Main Menu find and select Settings and open About device.
Then tap 7 times in Build number to become a developer.
Excellent! You have just activated the Developer Options.
I am following this manual and I don't have the Developers Option in my Pebble App Setting when I look at Application Manager. Any idea why is that and how I can find it? I have a Samsung Galaxy S6.
Pebble app > Settings > Developer Options and tick Enable Developer Connection.
There's no such 3 lines for the app setting as shown in this link.
The manual you linked to seems to be the right set of steps.
The screenshot you posted though indicates you do not have a Pebble connected, which may be the root of the problem. I believe the developer option only appears if a Pebble watch is actually connected. Once its enabled, it will stay that way though.
I am trying to develop android wear application with handled app.
My Android wear device (Samsung Gear Live) was not detected by ADB.
So , I am signing the wear app and adding it to handled app and signing handled app separately.
Now How to get crash logs from the wear app?
Any body can help on this issue?
You need to enable developer options and adb debugging on you Wear device to be able to use adb.
Open the Settings app and scroll to the bottom.
If it doesn't have a Developer Options setting, tap About Phone (or About Tablet), scroll to the bottom, and tap the build number 7 times.
Go back and tap Developer Options.
Enable USB debugging.
When that is done you can either connect your watch with a usb cable, just like you connect your phone or enable bluetooth debugging like described here: https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/bt-debugging.html
