![]() Default Folder X, Bartender or whatever app needs permission doesn’t know this, and will continue prompting you to authorize them in System Preferences. If an app needs permission to record your screen, you will never see the prompt, and the app will not be added to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Screen Recording, so there’s no way for you to manually approve it there if you happen to realize it needs permission.īased on testing that I and Ben Surtees at Surtees Studios (developer of the excellent Bartender app) have done, if the Finder isn’t running, the permissions system for Screen Recording just silently fails. If you’re running Path Finder and have chosen to have Path Finder launch when you log in and have its preference set to quit the Finder after it launches, you’re in for a treat. UNLESS you happen to also be a user of CocoaTech’s Path Finder app. ![]() It’s an annoying process, but works as well as can be expected given Catalina’s limitations. Default Folder X then leads you through System Preferences to ok everything. If it doesn’t have permission, it tries to capture a portion of the screen, which causes Catalina to pop up an alert asking for your approval. In macOS 10.15, Default Folder X requests permission for Screen Recording ( here’s why). I figured I’d briefly talk about it in case other Mac users or developers encounter this: In Catalina, the Finder must be running before you can approve apps to record the screen One other fix, however, is a bit bizarre.
