Yes the IDE is accepting connections for the remote debugger to work. Standalones then open sockets to the IDE. You should only get this dialog if you don’t allow signed apps to accept connections by default and/or don’t allow it the first time you run LC. Once you allow it you shouldn’t see this again unless LC gets modified or something.
