Kap: After Upgrading Kap Errors out on Kapture
Platform: macOS Kap Version: 2.1.1
Steps to reproduce:
- Upgrade from Kap 1.x to 2.1.1 via the upgrade notification
- Restart is irrelevant. This happened both before and after restarting, though trying to kapture before restarting may have made it permanent?
- Try to record a katpure
Current behaviour:
Unexpectedly errors out whenever I try to kapture, then sends quite a few other errors once the initial error is dismissed.

Unhandled Promise Rejection
Error: Call `.startRecording()` first

Thank you
Use this link @pedromassango: Download. Once it’s finished downloading, open it and follow the instructions to move it your your Applications folder. Once that’s done you can open the app and hopefully use it without issues!
I have the same errors with and without plugins, installing the 3.0 didn’t solved for me, but with the 3.0 version I get only this simple error when I start recording instead of 2 error when I start the app and one when I start recording
@skllcrn I’ve managed to install the 3.0.0 and everything is working fine there though. 😄
