Answer 1

2019: I had to enter the password like 40 times... must be a bug... but it worked

Answer 2

I was also having the problem while running the carthage script in the build phase. (Xcode 9) I get that dialog for each and every framework I had added plus the app itself. You can see a very dark shadow growing. I could bypass it by entering the password every time and hitting "Always Allow".

Answer 3

What helped me was to enter the incorrect password. After that, when entereing the correct password, new dialogs started to open in different places of the workspace. I had to enter the correct password about 20 times hitting Always allow. Which helped!

Answer 4

I had the same problem: while building iOS release for Flutter project, was asked for keychain password, entered Apple ID password for developer account, no luck. Finally succeeded by entering password for computer I was using (which was an on-line mac server). Hope that helps.

Answer 5

The same dialog asking for the KeyChain password has 3 buttons. Most likely the wanted password is that for logging in to your Mac. If you press "Allow" it only works for some tiny aspect and will ask again, which is very puzzling. You need to press "Always Allow". The verification team at Apple is very weak, they need some 'normal' developers in the design team for the chain of events to get an app in the app store. Normal developers have very sketchy ideas about KeyChains and Certificates and Profiles.

Answer 6

Just click on the certificate in the keychain access and change the access permission if you want to avoid entering password at all, else select Always allow and it will prompt probably 4-5 times and it will be done.
