allow ArduinoCreateAgent incoming network connections always required

I am using the Arduino Web Editor on MacOS High Sierra (10.13.6).

Every time I restart my laptop, I am forced to allow the request (see attached screenshot) : "Do you want the application ArduinoCreateAgent.app to accept incoming network connections?"

I answer "Allow" and despite the firewall settings apparently remembering this selection (see attached screenshot), I still have to allow the request after every login or restart.

Is there any way to avoid this?

Not a MAC person but during the install there would have been similar requests to which you should have said YES.

Skipping any of those could give you the symptoms you see.
Also if there has been an update to the agent you may have some minor issues.

Is it your own MAC and not a loan computer as sometimes security is enabled by IT departments that can also interfere ?

Have you tried to re-install the agent using the getting started flow ?

Current AGENT version is 1.1.76 and you can check that from the icon right click on windows not sure what macs do ?
