Apps no longer populating in Screen Recording section

This is a new issue that has cropped up in the last few weeks (beginning of Feb) where the script is properly presenting the Screen Recording pane to end-users, but the apps are not populating so there's nothing to click.

Investigating...

I think I took it for granted that I always deployed a PPPC profile allowing standard user to approve... Upon further testing it looks like the application has to be installed AND a PPPC profile allowing standard user to approve needs to be on the device before the app populates in the screen recording section. (This is an initial enrollment scenario. If the device has had the apps installed for awhile and they've been launched and requested Screen Recording access then they are likely there already).

I'll make that PPPC Profile a requirement moving forward and include some logic in the next version of the script to check for the appropriate PPPC access before prompting the user.

Added in v1.7. Will likely deprecate support for Catalina in the next revision as macOS Catalina does not support that PPPC payload.
