I have set kCGWindowSharingState to none for my app. Even though the sharing state is none, I am still able to record my app's content using the native screen recording app and third-party apps. My App window detaills: { kCGWindowAlpha = 1; kCGWindowBounds = { Height = 700; Width = 1000; X = 1956; Y = 105; }; kCGWindowIsOnscreen = 1; kCGWindowLayer = 0; kCGWindowMemoryUsage = 2176; kCGWindowName = "Create and Sell Online Training Programs - TrainerCentral"; kCGWindowNumber = 13352; kCGWindowOwnerName = TrainerCentral; kCGWindowOwnerPID = 95409; kCGWindowSharingState = 0; kCGWindowStoreType = 1; }
