Enabling audio recording crashes the app

macOS version: 10.14.5 Kap version: 3.0.0

Steps to reproduce

Install the Open preferences, and enable the record audio option. App crash.

You can also manually edit your config at ~/Library/Application Support/Kap Beta/config.json to set recordAudio: true. Opening Kap after saving this updated config crashes the app. (Note - after attempting to enable audio via preferences, recordAudio in the config is not set to true, so this could be a separate issue?).

Current behaviour

Selecting the record audio option in preferences crashes the app.

Expected behaviour

Selecting the record audio option in preferences should work and not crash the app.

Workaround

Run Kap by installing the latest master branch (source).

Misc info

Not related to this issue specifically, but related to how I found it. When you are able to successfully enable audio recording (via install from source) - capture a recording of your screen (with audio), and attempt to export to WebM, it reproduces: https://github.com/wulkano/kap/issues/681 and https://github.com/wulkano/kap/issues/474

For whoever was having this issue, can you try this build. I think I have fixed it.

Keep in mind that this is not notarized, so you’ll have to right-click -> open -> open to open the app after downloading and placing in Applications

That can happen if you try to record without first having moved Kap to Applications, because of sandboxing @emzudemo, did you start it from Applications or your download folder when that happened?
