This aligns us with Chromiums flags / capabilities in regards to using SCK for everything. Currently on 14.4 Electron apps will pop warnings for usage of deprecated APIs. With this change and a few "enable-features" toggles.
--enable-features="ScreenCaptureKitMac,ScreenCaptureKitStreamPickerSonoma,ThumbnailCapturerMac:capture_mode/sc_screenshot_manager"
As Chromium enables these by default Electron will inherit those changes, apps wishing to skip ahead can apply these flags early.
This is safe to land / backport as is as in the default state this change is a no-op, multiple flags need to be enabled before any new codepath is followed
Notes: Added support for
ThumbnailCapturerMac
andScreenCaptureKitStreamPickerSonoma
chromium feature flags to bypass deprecated API warning on macOS 14.4
