Cap crashed unexpectedly on macOS 14.3 (Abort Trap 6 / ScreenCaptureKit stop)

[YashMakan]

Description

While recording a screen + camera session, Cap aborted unexpectedly after ~6 minutes of capture.

Crash type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) → Abort Trap 6

Root cause shown in log:
screencapturekit::stream::internal::delegate::did_stop_with_error ➜ -[SCStreamManager stream:didStopWithError:]
pointing to ScreenCaptureKit / ReplayKit calling abort().

What I expected: Cap to continue recording (or at least fail gracefully and save what had been captured).

What happened instead: The whole app quit, generating a macOS crash report (see attached).

Reproduction

1. Launch Cap.

2. Choose Screen + Camera sources (audio input enabled).
   My exact preset: 1080p 60 fps H.264 + system & mic audio.

3. Click Record.

4. After a few minutes (in this case ~ 6 min 20 s) the recording preview froze; a second later Cap disappeared and macOS displayed the crash reporter.

Additional Context

• Cap version: 0.3.41 (build 20250416.110250)
• Operating system, version: macOS 14.3.1 (23D60)
• Device (optional): Mac14,3 (Apple Silicon, SIP enabled)

Thanks for the report, looks like we aren't handling SCK errors correctly. Will look into this soon

The ScreenCaptureKit integration has been substantially reworked since this was reported. This specific abort is believed resolved, please re-test on the latest version and open a fresh issue with logs if it still crashes on macOS 14.
