I think you are missing a step in your Android. First you have to enable Developer Options in your phone. To do that, you have to tap 'Build Number' 7 times. Then, you will have the new menu Developer Options, where you will find the 'mock location' option.
The following image shows all the steps, it was taken from https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options?hl=en-419

Actual behavior
When I long press on the location I wanted to fake on the map and clicked on 'Apply', I got a message which says " Mock location not applied. You must enable developer option settings. Service stopped". I tried to locate the developer option but it isn't available on the screen.
Expected behavior
I should be able to locate the developer option on the screen. Developer option allows you to configure system behavior in other to profile and debug your app performance. The app cannot work without turning on the developer option so, my expectation was to be able to locate developer option and toggle it on enable me apply my mock location.
How to reproduce
Download fake travelers
launch it and pick a location by long pressing the point on the screen or typing the longitude and latitude.
Click on "Apply"
A message will appear on the screen telling you to turn on developer option.(" Mock location not applied. You must enable developer option settings. Service stopped".)
Search the entire app for it. You won't find it.
As stated in the developer Android studio( the link you dropped in the read me file). "the developer option will be available by default on Android 4.1 and below and Android above 4.1 will have to go through some steps to locate the developer option through the app settings. I couldn't see anything like that on my device
Device used - Tekno spark
Version - Android 7.0
Reproducing the bug
