Mac OS Networking Sandbox Auth Popup

When I installed Defold I noticed that macos poped up a box asking “Do you want the application … to accept incoming network connections?”

I’m getting the same popup now, running a mac os build of my game. My game doesn’t do anything over the network. I don’t see anything in the project or bundle settings that would require a network connection.

What are these Defold binaries trying to connect to? How can I disable the message from popping up in my builds?

Hi

That’s for debugging purpose. Defold Editor connects to your debug build via local network.

It shouldn’t appear in the release build.

Don’t know how to disable these messages for debug builds because every build potentially can have a new executable file.

But as far as I can see if you don’t make changes in native extensions it will run without popups after you allow the connection, because in this case the building phase updates only resources I think.
