“Do you want to the application Chromium.app to accept incoming network connections?”

• Platform / OS version: Mac OS Sierra 10.12.4
• Node.js version:v11.2.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false })
and visit any url...

What happens instead?

Chromium window appear with the site content And the Mac OS alert pop ups asking “Do you want to the application Chromium.app to accept incoming network connections?”

No matter what you do with the Mac OS Firewall setting it keeps asking it again and again and again.

sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - ./node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/mac-722234/chrome-mac/Chromium.app

This is what I used. It’ll prompt you for your password. Then the next time Chromium with a head opens up youll get the prompt one last time and youre good to go from then on. Enjoy!

Go to system preferences then create a self signed certificate (keychen app, “trousseaux d’acces” in french). Tell a name “MyCertificateName”, self signed root and code signing certificate type. Tell system that you trust it.

Open a command and write "codesign -s MyCertificateName -f ./tothepath/yourapp.app --deep

Your app is now self signed and trusted for all the system, you should not be notified anymore (it worked for me)
