The user opened up a screen recording app. The user's intent is very
much to record the screen. We don't need to ask the user again with
a prompt.
How do you make sure it WAS launched by the user and not run silently
by one application?
That's the whole problem.
If the application starts recording the screen without user interaction
I would consider it broken.
Indeed, it would. Be security is never based on what an application
SHOULD do, it is based on what it CAN do.
So you want to trust every screenshot application? I don't think it is a
good idea. It is a better one
than trusting every app, but it still not is very efficient.
