That is correct.
The worst part is that your application has no way to know if it
isn't functioning because of the firewall. If you are an Apple
Developer, you may want to consider escalating this through Developer
Technical Support (DTS). A number of developers run in to this
problem and there is no good solution.

So is it not advisable to make/add your rules in the FireWall
settings ?
I thought to add the rules while installing my app and remove while
unistallation.

I believe contents of this file are considered an implementation

rules to the firewall is to give detailed instructions on how the
user may do this.
Ultimately, the best solution is to turn the stupid thing off. But if
I user thinks they can't live without Blue Widget Goo and you try to
take it from them, they resent you. So we live with a stupid personal
firewall that does nothing to increase the security of the machine.
The only thing it does do is break applications that want to use the
network for legitimate purposes.
