How to stop "keychain access" permission dialog on MacOS when debugging Flutter app on Visual Studio Code?

Question

I had just moved from Android Studio to Visual Studio Code. I'm using Firebase in my app which I debug by running it on MacOS. Every time I do "Start Debugging" on VS code, I get this dialog which I learned to hate by this time. Even if I type my password and click "Always Allow", it still appears next time I start debugging.

I tried changing Access Control settings in Keychain but that didn't help. The dialog is driving me insane. Any ideas?

There are several cases when the permissions popup is presented and some of them cannot be fixed on Firebase side.

Could you please provide more details on your workflow:

• Can you observe Keychain items created by your app with different signing settings? If you remove them, do you still observe the alert?
• Do you observe the alert if you re-install your app without signing changes?
• Once you allow access you should not see more alerts. It is the case for you?

Also, Please check the GitHub discussion on #5603 GitHub

You may add the following line to your Podfile for this and try:

pod 'FirebaseInstallations', :git=>'https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk.git', :branch=>'master'
