No. Because otherwise the security measure of not allowing screenshots
of an app would be useless. And before you rant about this - think about
banking apps or similar use cases, where you don't want anyone just
grabbing the screen content.

Yes, they closed this security issue.

The only option - depending on what your devices support - would be to
connect it with an adapter for USB to HDMI or more common USB to
DisplayPort (which uses USB-C alternate mode for DisplayPort output) and
grab the content using a screengrabber. But of course this only makes
sense, if you need this on a regular basis and are willing to pay for a
grabber hardware.
