macOS: Do you want the "???.app" to accept incoming network connections?

nwjs Version : 0.30.0 - 0.30.2 Operating System : macOS 10.13.4

Expected behavior

Don’t get the a message dialog about incoming network connections.

Actual behavior

After building a nwjs app I get since version 0.30.0+ the gatekeeper dialog:

Do you want the "???.app" to accept incoming network connections?

How to reproduce

Build a nwjs app on macOS with nwjs-builder-phoenix 1.14.6:

build ---tasks mac-x64 --mirror https://dl.nwjs.io/ .

package.json

  "build": {
    "nwVersion": "0.30.0",
  },

nwjs prior to 0.30.0 don’t trigger the incoming network connection dialog.

I have the same issue with version 0.38.4 under macOS 10.13.6. On every start of the app the popup appears and asks for permission for incoming network connections, no matter if the setting has already been set in the firewall.

I’ve created a repo to show how we reproduce this issue. I also see the prompt using nwjs-builder-phoenix.

Here’s the repo: https://github.com/wvary/nwjs-firewall-test

1. Build with nwbuild

git clone https://github.com/wvary/nwjs-firewall-test.git
npm run build

1. Build with nwjs-builder-phoenix

git checkout try-nwjs-builder-phoenix
npm install
npm run build 

Both builds show the firewall prompt.
