1918996 - Initial SCContentSharingPicker on macOS 15 does not let users pick a window

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: WebRTC: Audio/Video, defect, P1)

Description

[Andreas Pehrson [:pehrsons]]

When testing SCContentSharingPicker on macOS 14 I landed on configuring it with allowedPickerModes = SCContentSharingPickerModeSingleDisplay | SCContentSharingPickerModeMultipleWindows and usingContentStyle:SCShareableContentStyleDisplay as the latter allowed the picker to start in display picking mode, but still with the option to switch to window picking.

In the macOS 15 SCContentSharingPicker there is no way for the user pick a window in the initial picker. When opening the picker for a running stream through the status bar control panel, it allows picking a window.

Reproduced the issue on Firefox 132.0a1 (2024-09-16) on macOS 15.3 with Gum test page.

On Firefox 132.0 and Firefox 128.7.0ESR I was able to select separate windows to share without issues on the same system.
