Thanks Quinn. Figured it out the hard way - signed the binary, and it stopped popping up the firewall alert.
Yes my code is listening to incoming connections, however I do not own that code - I just embedded a web server into my app, thus i am not the one who binds/listens to a socket and accepts connections - so i cannot delegate this to launchd.

I would assume that once the app has been allowed with the firewall, the system could calculate the binary's hash/checksum, so the next time the firewall wants to pop up an alert, it would recalculate the checksum and compare the result with what it has in its database already, check whether the checksum (and therefore the binary) has changed since or not, and based on that pop up an alert or just allow/block the connection.
Anyways, thanks for the answer, the problem is solved.
