Research direction
The issue provides only a screenshot and a report of a recurring macOS permission dialog; no repository file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reading the two existing comments and the linked image; done would require a confirmed explanation and actionable resolution, but the issue does not define a code change.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
This dialog keeps popping up.

I press Cancel, of course, and a minute later it comes back.
I searched and found this has something to do with XCode, which I am NOT running.
The only unusual thing that's happened recently is I rebooted my Mac because Dropbox wasn't working properly (the reboot fixed Dropbox).
Any help much appreciated.
