Capture screenshots on the Android simulator on the Mac

This error appears when trying to capture screenshots on the Android Studio v2.2.2 emulator (API level 23 and 24):

The screenshot could not be captured. Check settings to verify that
your chosen adb path is valid.

So I clicked “Extended Settings”> ” Settings” tab and “Use detected ADB location” toggle to open.

What am I missing here?

Edit:

After switching “Use detected ADB location” to off and manually pointing the path to the API level adb, it started working. Then the question now is why The “Use Detected ADB Location” setting in the Android Studio emulator does not work on OSX?

According to my experience, this is the setting “USB debugging” is turned off.

Setting the application> “Developer options”>Enable “USB debugging”

If you do not see “Developer options”, you can click ” Internal number” field to enable it.
