Aliases / Screen Recording not working #662

Hey! I'm trying to setup an alias for Wifi with SketchyBar, but I'm not sure what's going wrong.

I'm using brew to install and to run sketchybar as a service. At first sketchybar --query default_menu_items was giving me 'Screen Recording Permissions not given.' error. I was not sure how to fix that as the app does not request the permission. I went to System Settings -> Privacy and Sercurity -> Screen & System Audio Recording, but the SketchyBar is not there.

The documentation does not specify how to grant permission, nor does the error from the app :(

I tried to add the /usr/local/bin/sketchybar' manually to Screen & System Audio Recording, but now when I run sketchybar --query default_menu_items` I get no output at all (an no error).

When I try running sketchybar --add alias "Control Center,WiFi" right as per the docs - nothing happens. Running it second time gives me [?] Add: Item 'Control Center,WiFi' already exists, but there's nothing in my SketchyBar UI.

I'm not sure how to proceed.

So, an update.

I tried reinstalling the SketchyBar - that did not help. What helped was that instead of "Control Center,WiFi" I tried a different app from the menu bar that I wanted "Amie,Item 0" and this time the permission dialog popped up and everything is smooth from there.

Now I only need to figure out how to trigger a menu on an alias click :)
