As a workaround, request permission using https://github.com/karaggeorge/mac-screen-capture-permissions first.

BTW, PR #51 fixed a segmentation fault, but now getTitle() does not return the window title anymore, but instead the Application name.

@mattallty I can confirm that window.getTitle is not working as expected in v2.2.4. Using macOS Big Sur. I'm sticking to v2.2.3 because of it.

try to change file macos.mm NSString *windowName = wInfo[(id)kCGWindowOwnerName]; to NSString *windowName = wInfo[(id)kCGWindowName]; after that recompile it.

@DYGidin This was exactly what I needed. In dev, I had to manually grant permissions to VSCode, but it's working excellently after applying that change. Thanks!
