This code does work to create a recording:

~/Applications/AndroidTool.app/Contents/Resources/adb shell screenrecord --verbose /sdcard/demo.mp4
(press Ctrl-C to stop)
~/Applications/AndroidTool.app/Contents/Resources/adb pull /sdcard/demo.mp4

I had the same issue. The workaround provided by @servel333 works but it doesn't work from the App itself.

@servel333 workaround works fine...

Full disclosure, I found that code on the Wiki Troubleshooting page

I had the same problem when I ran the tool from the Downloads folder. I moved the app to Applications folder and it worked like a charm. Must be some relative paths not set correctly inside app code.

Same problem me too.

@servel333 I tried to use your solution, but at first it didn't work because i had installed AndroidTool in the root /Applications. I moved the application to my private user ~/Applications and your script worked. After moving the application the application actually started working too, so like @fspacerpg suggested, it is probably due to some relative paths.
