Deploying to Amazon Fire TV over USB - adb

I've been working on an Amazon Fire TV app for about a month now. The usual process of testing is to deploy over the network using Eclipse/adb. However, as the size of my app has increased the deployment time has skyrocketed. It has gotten to the point where it's painful to work on this platform and not worth the massive iteration time. I'm about to cancel the whole project!
That being said, does anybody know how to deploy an app from my dev laptop to the Amazon Fire TV over USB? I imagine that would be much faster.

ADB over USB is not possible on the Fire TV, so you can't just connect it to a PC via USB. ADB over USB is possible on the Fire TV Stick however. (source)
Your only option for the Fire TV is to root it. Rooting would allow you to connect an external USB drive to the Fire TV using stickmount. You'd then need to use an app like a file explorer to install your APK off the USB drive.

Run android virtual device

Can an Android app present itself as a (virtual) Matter device?

Is it possible to create an Android app that presents itself as a Matter device? e.g. a thermometer. Any sample code?
An android app probably can’t do this, as it cannot stay on and listen to external communications on demand all the time. You can look for solutions to run a local server on the android system and implement a virtual device that way.

Run ReactJS based application on ipad Mini

I have created a React Application with multiple frontends, I need to run that on my ipad Mini so that I can demo that it works on it. How can I do it, please advise?
I have tried using the IP configuration but to no avail.
First solution (approximate)
You can open such a view called device mode in a browser (chrome example). But keep in mind: This is only intended as a first-order approximation of how your page would look and feel like on another device. It is just being simulated and not guaranteed to be exactly the same. Chrome does support iPad Mini previews.
Second solution (accurate)
You would need to use your computers IP address in your local network and make sure that your device is on the same network as your computer.
On Linux and Mac you can check your IP with ifconfig and ipconfig on Windows. Once you know the IP address of your computer and your react dev server is running on port 3000 you can access your app with:
http://{IP_ADDRESS}:3000

windows 10 iot - salvage app package from device

USB keeps disconnecting...only for mobile devices

Very strange issue, no results that I could find from google searches.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit. Everything Windows related is up to date, and so are all USB drivers. My computer is a laptop from Puget Systems.
My computer has three USB inputs; one USB 2.0, and two USB 3.0s. 2.0 versus 3.0 doesn't really matter though, because this issue happens with all three drives.
Heres the issue: When connected, USB devices are found, and recognized. 5-30 sec later, they disconnect, only to reconnect in a couple seconds. The cycle of disconnecting/reconnecting continues indefinitely. I have not been successful with keeping USB devices connected for more than ~30 seconds.
At this point, it could be any number of things causing this issue. But this is where it gets weird. This issue ONLY happens with mobile devices, and it happens with ALL mobile devices. By mobile devices I mean phones and iPods. I have tested my Samsung Galaxy S4, an iPod Classic, an iPod touch, an iPod nano, a Droid Turbo, and an iPhone 5. This issue occurred with all of these devices. The issue did NOT occur at all with my 2TB Seagate backup harddrive, my 1TB WD harddrive, several USB pen drives, my external keyboard, or my wireless mouse USB receiver that is plugged in nearly 24/7 in my USB 2.0 drive. My Xbox One controller disconnected 3 times in a row once, but that only happened once so it might have been a fluke...?
Anyways, what could be the reason for this strangely specific issue? Does anyone have any answers or has anyone experienced something similar?
Improper drive installation? Make sure your drivers are installed correctly. Try uninstalling and reinstalling them. If this does not work try to see if it is your USB cable or mobile device's port. (Test by altering to charge the device from a wall adapter) It could also be your computers port but you said in the title that it is only happening for mobile devices.
Reinstall the drivers to the devices you are having problems with. (Oh someone beat me too it.)
