Endless stream of "Allow Mkchromecast.app to accept network connections", even with firewall policy

I have Mkchromecast specifically allowed accept network connections, and I still get a HUGE stack of endless network connection requests. Everytime I 'accept' or 'deny' one another pops up, and I always have at least 4 open. Seems like something is wrong?

I had the same problem with Mac OSX El Capitan. I'm using mkchromecast v0.3.8.1 and soundflower-2.ob2....

I think that problem has to do with the fact Mkchromecast is not a signed application. It does not happen to me though. I don't use macOS' firewall. I am not suggesting it to be turned off but definitely something to be fixed.

I was allowing mkchromecast on the firewall actually and I allowed all sources application, but still the same.

Let me try by turning off the fw...

@AdziePahlevi that would be great if you confirmed it.

Same for me. When I start it from the command line, an error message is keep repeating:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicui18n.60.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/Mkchromecast.app/Contents/Resources/./nodejs/bin/node
  Reason: image not found
Reconnecting node streaming...

For each error message I got the 'Allow accept connection"... popup. and the Mkchromecast toast message. If I turn off the firewall, "Allow accept connection" popup is not showing up but the toast message is still keep appearing endlessly.. It is with: mkchromecast_v0.3.8.1.

... and it keeps repeating

Hey @Kormirim, if you do brew switch icu4c 60.2, does it then work for you?

actually you can't brew switch anymore, instead:

cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core
git checkout 86ff03fbfcb44a6bdd3b0662854922a8185db910 Formula/icu4c.rb
brew reinstall icu4c

seems to work with icu4c 60.2

@vladoros this commit doesn't exist anymore. I think there is no alternative anymore. Solutions appreciated. Thanks

This happens on Catalina even when allow incoming connections is enabled. Disabling the firewall fixes it.
