Why am I being asked to “Allow ‘Ecamm’ to find devices on local networks”?

macOS Sequoia (15.0) introduces a new permission that Ecamm needs for features such as:

The following message should come up when launching Ecamm on Sequoia:

Please choose “Allow” when prompted, or these features will not work properly.
​
If you’ve seen this prompt and have already chosen “Don’t Allow”, you can grant this permission by enabling the toggle next to Ecamm in the Privacy & Security control panel of your Mac’s System Settings application. You can find this under “Local Network” once you have selected Privacy & Security from the left.
