Upwork time tracker is not recording actual screen in MAC OS Catalina 10.15.3

I'm struggling with upwork time tracker app since I have installed MAC OS 10.15.3. I have raised my query in upwork customer support but they are failed to provide me solution.

 

they gave me this solution

 

1. Uninstall the application
2. Open the terminal app​​
3. Run this command

tccutil reset All


4. Then run this command 

mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Upwork{,.bak}

 

I have tried the above solution but nothing works out, it still captures a blank screenshot. they upwork customer support ask me to send a screen recording. I was using screenOmatic app to record screen but they have no idea when I run this command  

tccutil reset All

it disables the screenomatic recording too. As that command removes all screen recording permission to all apps.

 

Moreover, they put tickets as SOLVED every time and I don't have the option to write them back. So I came here and writing what I'm facing for 3 weeks with no solution at all.

I would suggest you try what worked for me, but you may want to update to MAC OS 10.15.4 first. Delete / uninstall the Upwork App and run the reset all command in the terminal app, then download this older beta version.

That worked for me, even when the app updated to a new version.

 

there is no MAC OS 10.15.4

Hi Prateek, 

Since you already have an open ticket regarding your concern, it would be best to update the same ticket thread so that the team handling your case can assist you further with your concern.

They have closed the ticket marking it as solved. I have no way to reply in that ticket now. I was in touch with them since 3 weeks but they come up with no solution

Here is a pretty long thread of people with similar issues. I had the same issue and it was resolved thanks to one of the posts, not sure which one, just find one with a bunch of kudos.

This has to do with the new Mac permissions system (which require you to explicitly allow screen recording access to apps individually). 

Varun,

If you see my post I have followed the solution posted here and permission was given, even after giving the permission screenshots are stil blank
