Google App Script unverified app for own use and development

I've got the problem of having an unverified app. I don't think I should need to verify my app as I am the only user and developer of it, and that won't change. Why does it want me to verify the app and how do I fix this problem?

Having an unverified app is not a "problem" if it is for your own use. It only means a couple of extra clicks (Advanced, etc) when access to a new service is added to the app (for example, you included access to MailApp in addition to SpreadsheetApp). The unverified app flow may look scary but since you know what you are doing, it should not stop you for more than a second.

You cannot disable this security measure. It is meant to protect uninformed users from themselves. Such measures tend to be annoying to users who know exactly what they are doing. But Google can't tell the difference between someone who develops own apps and someone who pastes in dangerously buggy or malicious code they found on the Internet.
