AVD Manager: can't see "wipe data" or "Emulated Performance"? - xamarin

I'm getting error message qemu-system-i386.exe has stopped working when debugging Xamarin.Forms app.
Searching the web, I found this solution: error message "qemu-system-i386.exe has stopped working". It basically says to "Wipe Data" and/or change Emulated Performance to Software GLES 2.0
The problem is that I don't see the options "Wipe Data" in this screenshot and I don't see AVD Edit -> change the Emulated Performance to Software GLES 2.0.
Am I missing something?
This is the screen I'm seeing when I go to Android Device Manager and click Edit. I don't see anything there that says "Wipe Data" or "Emulated Performance".
I have Visual Studio 2017 15.9.5.

Tools --> Android --> Android Device Manager --> Right click device --> Factory reset

I had same problem, unable to find wipe data action anywhere. Factory reset doesn't work for me. My problem is "To Start Android, enter your password" but i didnt found any ways to solve it without wipe data. This steps has solved this issure:
Run cmd.exe as administrator
My android-sdk folder location is E:\Android\android-sdk**, so change it to **E:\Android\android-sdk\tools
There is emulator.exe file, run it with emulator.exe -list-avds parameter for find your real avd names.
Now, if you have got your avd in list run emulator.exe -avd YOUR_AVD_NAME -wipe-data
Here is what i have:

xcode-cloud-assertion failures when testing Xcode Source Editor Extension

So I have a bare-bones Xcode project with an Xcode Source Editor Extension target attached. I'd like to test the thing, so I hit run. A new instance of Xcode pops up, where my extension should appear in the Editor menu, but there's nothing there. The logs show the following lines (among other things):
2023-01-20 13:44:24.240562-0800 Xcode[2203:46831] [xcode-cloud-assertion] ❌❌❌ Assertion failure #0 in Failed SW AuthKit for: <private>
2023-01-20 13:44:24.249980-0800 Xcode[2203:46831] [xcode-cloud-assertion] ❌❌❌ Assertion failure #0 in Failed to authenticate account: <private> error: <private>
For context, I'm running the following:
macOS 12.6.2
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
Xcode 14.0 (14A309)
I'm not enrolled in the Apple Developer Program, and I've never used Xcode Cloud.
It's also worth noting that when I go to Reports > Cloud, I get Analyzing workspace... for a few minutes before Could not load Xcode Cloud data pops up (same issue as described here). I get similar behavior across all projects, including brand new ones. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with these log messages above, but I kind of hope it does.
I've tried the following:
Removing and adding my Apple ID in Xcode, restarting my MacBook in between
Deleting my development certificates
The main thing is that I'd like to be able to test my source editor extension. Any ideas?
Found it. The problem is XcodeKit, which isn't set to sign out of the box. I was able to fix it by setting it to Embed & Sign under General > Frameworks and Libraries > XcodeKit.framework (see screenshot).

JetBrains IDE Error on start : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

I have got this error, but hardly could find the solution after 2 times reinstalling my IDE and even I installed 'All in One runtimes' but it couldn't help since I think the problem originally started after I changed few settings in windows defender setting and then tried to reset them.
But sure others have reported this problem and had no idea of what had happend all of a sudden to get following error when trying to run the application:
JetBrains IDE Error on start : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)
*1 - which in my case was Phpstorm64.exe running on windows 10
I just felt there is no 'easy to find' solution for this occurring problem, so I decided to post it on Stackoverflow
In my case this was helpful and worked for me:
just disable ASLR (Address space layout randomization) from windows defender
in Windows 10 you should follow these steps:
open Settings (just right-click on windows start and choose
settings)
search for 'Windows Defender Settings' or just go to 'Update & Security' > 'Windows Security'
then open 'App & browser control', in the new opened window scroll down to the end to find 'Exploit protection settings', click
that
sort of settings will be shown and you can change the default settings. to create an exception you should click "Program settings"
(which doesn't seem to be a button,but it is!)
click 'add program to customize', in the dialog enter your ide name.exe (you can easily find it by clicking 'open file location' on
shortcut of the application)
in my case the application name was 'phpstorm64.exe'
next you have to look for 'force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR)' check the 'override system settings' and switch it off and apply settings.
I'm not sure if it's needed,but turning off 'Randomize memory allocations (Bottom-up ASLR)' stated to work for others
I would appreciate if you help to get a complete solution for this problem , thanks
The crash is probably caused by ASLR Windows feature, the relevant ticket in the JetBrains issue tracker: IDEA-184029
Please check if the following workaround:
Turn the feature off globally or for a specific executable path https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/customize-exploit-protection

How to build a Cordova app to windows 10 (universal)

I'm currently developing a Cordova application with jQuery Mobile by using sublime text 3 and using Ripple to emulate my devices (I'll reference this project as SublimeProject).
I can build apps for IOS, Android and Win8. But now I need to build it for Windows 10. Apparently this doesn't work with my setup.
A colleague of mine told me to import the project in Visual Studio (I'll reference this as VSProject), add the plugins in the config.xml, copy over the files to the www folder and run it. Problem here is that it just doesn't work.
When I try to run it on Android with the Ripple - Nexus (Galaxy) emulator, it'll give me a warning like this:
I Haz CHeeseburger?!?!
PushPlugin.register
We seem to be missing some stuff :(
What is kinda cool though you can fill in the textarea to pass a json object to the callback you want to execute
Success! Fail!
But when I press Fail! the program will just work, somehow.
My console shows me the following for ripple.js:
ripple.js:37 Ripple :: Environment Warming Up (Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.)
ripple.js:51 Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help, check https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/.
ripple.js:51 GET http://localhost:4400/config.xml 404 (Not Found)(anonymous function) # ripple.js:51module.exports.initialize # ripple.js:51_baton.pass # ripple.js:13xhr.onreadystatechange # ripple.js:39
ripple.js:37 cordova :: Initialization Finished (Make it so.)
ripple.js:37 cordova :: Native back button handler was detached.
ripple.js:41 missing exec:PushPlugin.register
ripple.js:48 PushPlugin
ripple.js:48 register
Makes sense that something is wrong with pushplugin, but can't figure out what.
Additional, when I try to run the application on Windows-AnyCPU (which my actual intent is), the application will just show me the default cordova splash screen and hang there:
So that's where I'm at. I need to figure out a way to get the app to run on Windows 10. Prefered to use Visual Studio because I know it has an option to build me an .xap file.
Updates:
Update 1
I'm tracing where the PushPlugin error comes from.
try {
pushNotification = window.plugins.pushNotification;
}
pushNotification seems to be undefined, yet in my config.xml I have the following line:
<gap:plugin name="com.phonegap.plugins.pushplugin" version="2.4.0" />
Update 2
The pushplugin doesn't seem to be relevant, because when debugging in Visual Studio, I'll find the pushNotification to be not undefined.
Currently there is nothing pointing to a good reason why I only see the splash screen instead of my application.
I had the same problem and it turned out it was due to duplicate url in the $stateProvider.

Windows Phone 8 : "The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk."

I get following message when I try to add "Periodic Task" to "ScheduledActionService" in Windows Phone 8 Application.
"The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk."
I am really not sure if this is related to Visual Studio 2012 that I am using or related to Periodic Tasks on Windows Phone 8.
The same piece of code works fine in Windows Phone 7.
I found the solution here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/wpdevelop/thread/a973955e-0981-4be8-8ac0-8dfcb9dc2917/
You need to manually update your WPAppManifest.xml file and configure the background task there.
Appears to be normal behavior, not related to emulator or debugging.
There is a excellent explanation as to what is required by microsoft for background task in the msdn tutorial videos.
It references your problem at around 24:30 with editing the WPAppManifest.xml file.
He explains step by step what needs to be done and why.
http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Windows-Phone-8-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners/Part-34-Creating-a-Background-Agent-for-Scheduled-Tasks
Also I got a null reference exception after fixing the WPAppManifest.xml when called from the the main project, turns out the main project also has to reference the scheduler project (even if not using anything in it).
You have to add the ScheduledTaskAgent as a Reference to the main project.
I found this in the WPDT Notes
Runtime exception occurs when an application attempts to use a launcher/chooser in Microsoft.Phone.Tasks to call an application that is not present in the Emulator home screen. The following error string is displayed, “The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk.” Workaround: Do not use the launcher/chooser or catch this exception.

Error Message in Visual Studio

I am getting the following error message when i press on the Start Debugging button: "There were deployment errors. Continue ?"
Any idea why this error message is showing ?
Right click on the Solution you are working with > Configuration Manager > Un-check all the Deploy checks.
Something have a reference to the file it is trying to deploy? I used to sometimes get this on Windows Mobile projects when I ran it on the device or it didn't shutdown properly.
