pyautogui.screenshot() method is not working on Mac OS 13.2.1

[bwomsm1]

I am facing a problem that started with Mac OS 13.2.1 and was not happening on Mac OS 12.6.3 which that the call to pyautogui.screenshot() is not taking a screen shot.

script to reproduce the problem:

import pyautogui
import numpy
import cv2

images = pyautogui.screenshot()
frames = numpy.array(images)
frames_RGB = cv2.cvtColor(frames, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

Please advice. Thanks!

What error are you getting? I have an error with the Pillow version check, which I have fixed locally. Will open an issue to push the fix.

Also having issues. I'm using PyScreeze 0.1.29 with Python 3.11.4 on MacOS 13.3.1.

First issue is that passing filename as string does not result in saving to disk (this is an OS screenshot):

I can save to disk in a separate step but the screenshot that gets saved should look like the one above, but instead is just an empty desktop with no applications:

Here's an OS screenshot afterwards:

@rnbrady have you given iTerm screen recording permissions in the system settings? This is quite a common issue and fix

@Existance29 I hadn't. Thank you so much for this tip.

@rnbrady I just submitted a PR #128 to fix your first issue. The problem occurs if your Pillow version is >= 6.2.1.

Note however that the PR is not related to your 2nd issue or the OP's issue, but it's possible those were permission errors as mentioned by @Existance29.
