Bitdefender Continue Allowing / Block Application Messages XCode

Hello, when I am coding using XCode, I am bombarded by messages constantly asking to block the application. I check "Remember this action for all future sessions of this process" and click "Continue Allowing" but the messages keep popping up. How do I stop these annoying messages?

Hello.

First, take screenshot(s) of the issue

and create a log file on your MacOS device using BDProfiler, by following these steps:

https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/1863/

Next, contact Bitdefender Consumer Support by e-mail:

https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/help/

with short description of the issue.

After that, you will get an automated reply by the Bitdefender Customer Care Team, with your ticket number.

Now, in reply to that automated reply, you can send the screenshot(s) you already took and the log file you already created in the first step.

Since you are all done, just wait for the support engineers to investigate your issue and find a solution to fix the issue.

Remember that the screenshot(s) and the log file will help a lot to the support engineers for better and faster investigation on your issue and finding a solution.

Regards.

When using Xcode it is necessary to disable Bitdefender's Anti-ransomware Safe Files. If left on, Bitdefender will interfere with Xcode's operation. I have reported this several times and the response has been "our engineer's are aware of the issue and will provide an update when available". Hopefully Bitdefender is working on the issue and not slow-rolling users.

It has been 3 years since I brought up the conflict between Xcode and Bitdefender’s anti-ransomware monitoring. I have since sent Bitdefender the requested log files as well as a complete description of the issue. Basically, Xcode will cause Bitdefender to go into an infinite loop requiring me to allow/deny Xcode to run. In order to get out of this loop I need to Force Quit Bitdefender and exit Xode, then disable anti-ransomware.

My temporary solution is to put a big sticky on my display that reminds me to disable Bitdefender before firing up Xcode. Unfortunately, I will not be renewing Bitdefender if they are unable to fix this issue.
