I have not seen that one, but I have seen one-time permission dialogs 
for (a) Internet access and (b) writing to the user's "Documents" folder 
for a properly CODE SIGNED 9.0.5 standalone under Catalina.

I assumed it was like iOS permissions and probably LC will need to add 
to the OSX standalone setting tab a list of permissions you have to 
check off for your app, but I have not taken the time to research what 
needs to be done to prevent such warnings.
