keep having to accept incoming connections?

Hi, recently my Spotify program kept asking me twice to accept incoming connections whenever I launched it for the first time.
I found some workaround to this by deleting the permissions in the firewall and reinstalling the software and then pressing allow incoming connections. For some reason doing it this way, OS X remembered my decision to allow the incoming connections for Spotify.

Recently though it's started again, and it's not really acceptable in my opinion to have to reinstall the software every time there's an update of whatever's causing the firewall to keep asking me to allow it to have incoming connections.

I pressed allow twice... the Spotify program is in the firewall allow list and that should be that.

This is what happened recently:

Spotify wants to use your confidential information stored in "Spotify" in your keychain.
Do you want to allow access to this item?

I press "Always Allow"

Then the popup:
Do you want the application "Spotify.app" to accept incoming connections?
Checking the Deny may limit the application's behavior. This setting can be changed.... etc.

I press "Allow"

the same popup happens again and I press allow again.


This doesn't happen if I restart the program. But it does happen again if I restart the mac and launch spotify again.

Please help me to get the firewall to take my decision to allow incoming connections seriously! 🙂 I haven't changed my mind since I restarted the mac.

Many thanks,
Mike
