Supported applications for the NowPlaying widget can be found in this file.
As you can see in the code, if an application is not known, Pock should fallback to the iTunes/Music app (it depends on which version of macOS is running).
While I was writing this comment, I found out that the check on the macOS version is done on 13 instead of 10.15.
A new release with this fix is already on the road!

I had this issue, but followed the instructions here - https://pock.dev/docs/catalina.html - and the relevant app icon returned. See if that works?

Yeah I already did this before but surprisingly for me pock doesn't show up in the "screen recording" part. Maybe that's the cause of the problem ?

I followed the instructions and granted all the permissions for Pock. However, I still have the same problem. After playing any media in any browser, the icon in "Now Playing" widget will crash...
