Using the latest macOS 10.15 (Catalina) unfortunately GetWindowID is broken.
For example

GetWindowID Safari --list

produces a list of windows where instead of the names "(null)" is listed.
Also

GetWindowID "${appname}" "${windowname}"`

with correct values for both returns no id any more :-(

Yeah, unfortunately in macOS 10.15 the CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo() API no longer provides access to titles of other processes' windows. I also tried, unsuccessfully, to get that info using the old Carbon CopyWindowTitleAsCFString API and the private CGSCopyWindowProperty API. I eventually got it to work using the Accessibility API.
