I believe that the message has to do with OS X's sandboxing 
implementation and the setting of the sandbox's entitlement keys. Here's 
an Apple doc: 
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Miscellaneous/Reference/EntitlementKeyReference/Chapters/EnablingAppSandbox.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011195-CH4-SW9

I'm unaware of a way to work around this other than using Apple's code 
signing or adjusting target build settings in XCode :( If anyone knows a 
good way to workaround or manually set permission (other than clicking 
the Allow button), I would be interested.

Warmly,
Carol
