Stop “developer tools access needs to take control

Question

I recently upgraded to 10.7.3, and when I try to debug my iOS project in the simulator for the first time after logging in, I'm prompted with the following two alerts:

My user is an admin user. I never saw these alerts before. How do I get them to stop?

EDIT

I've verified that I'm a member of the _developer group using id -a.

Answer 1

There's a much simpler solution for this. Try running the following command:

sudo /usr/sbin/DevToolsSecurity --enable

Per Zev Eisenberg's answer, reinstalling Xcode 4.2.1 worked. However, it might be easier to just patch the /etc/authorization file with the following diff.

        <key>system.privilege.taskport.debug</key> 
        <dict>
            <key>allow-root</key>
            <false/>
            <key>class</key>

I modified the rule for system.privilege.taskport and the alert doesn't show up anymore.

1. Open the file /etc/authorization.
2. Find the rule system.privilege.taskport. Under the line <key>class</key>, change <string>rule</string> to <string>allow</string>
