Because your application uses Apple's accessibility API to monitor or control other running applications on the computer. Apple considers this a security risk and requires user authentication by hand in System Preferences. It can no longer be done programmatically in Mavericks, I believe, or Yosemite. The requirements have been made more strict in recent versions of OS X. You can read about it in the AppKit release notes, I believe. Also, search for "accessibility" in Xcode's documentation window.
