SwiftyDropbox keychain permission dialog only appearing on Monterey

[Jon B.1]

Hi -- we've been running a SwiftyDropbox-based macOS app for a couple of years now, with little or no trouble.  Since we've started installing it on Monterey, we've noticed that on some -- not all -- Monterey machines, the first time the user successfully logs in to Dropbox, they get prompted for keychain access, which didn't happen on previous versions of macOS:

 This is the correct bundle identifier for the app, so that's fine.  The issue is just that, since there's clearly a way to avoid this prompt, since we don't get it on every machine...  what is it?  Is there something I can set in the app's installer to pre-approve keychain access?

The SwiftyDropbox SDK uses the Keychain to store and retrieve the access/refresh token for the user (you can find it here in the code), but SwiftyDropbox SDK itself doesn't provide a way to configure any such Keychain options, so I'm afraid I can't offer too much help here. The SDK just asks the system for the specified credentials, and I believe the system itself decides whether or not this prompt is needed. Apple may be able to offer better guidance on if/how it's possible to configure the app to avoid this on various versions of macOS.

Thanks -- I'll pursue this with Apple!  If I get a sensible answer, I'll report it here.
