Option A: Flux over Bluetooth, second app over ANT+
Over bluetooth connect the trainer as Controllable to Flux
It's important to first connect the controlling app, in this case that is Flux.
Over ANT+ connect the trainer or power meter as a Power Meter device to the 2nd app
Make sure to not pair the second app as controllable, or the 2 apps will clash over the control of the trainer. If that happens Tacx trainers may require a power cycle to reset.
On RGT
On Zwift
First connect a Power Source and choose PWR:

At the end it should look like that, with the Controllable in grey:

NOTE: Zwift on Windows 10 and MacOS can be very aggressive in trying to automatically connect to a controllable device, so make sure that it's specifically unpaired from the menu.
On Rouvy
First connect a Power Source and select PWR:

On a single device:
You can use them side to side:

Or with the new minimal Dock mode:

Option B: both Apps over Bluetooth
If you happen to have a newer trainer with DUAL Bluetooth transmission channels, you would be able to connected as Controllable to Flux and as Power Meter to the second App. Such trainers are the Wahoo Kickr v5 and Kickr Core which support up to 3 concurrent connections over bluetooth.
