"The application firewall uses digital signatures to
verify the identity of applications. If you select an unsigned
application, Mac OS X v10.5
signs that application to uniquely identify it."
I think that OS X will generate a code signature for any app that is
not already signed when it accesses the keychain.
This system generated sig is used to see if the app has changed since
it updated the keychain.
Try rebuilding the app with a different Bundle version in the
info.plist and reinstall it.
That should be enough to generate a different code sig.
If your app is signed by a recognised authority then you will skip all
the prompts.

There are a couple of dialogs that automatically come up when an app

How can I cause my app to generate this dialog? (Well, my
employer's app.) I am trying to reproduce a reported bug.
The doc says:
In Mac OS X v10.3 and later, in addition, the system keeps track of
applications that were updated by Software Update.
Surely Transmit isn't updated by Software Update? What does this
mean?
