macOS – Disable ‘Android Studio Downloaded from Internet’ Message
macos
How do I disable the message: "Android Studio is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?" on my MacBook Pro?
I'm running macOS High Sierra 10.13.2.

You can't disable this kind of message. The reason is you have allowed to install apps from anywhere in the Security setting in System Preferences. If the app is from Mac App Store, you won't get any messages like this.
If you need to do this manually on a file (or files) you can run the following command to remove the Quarantine flag:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /PATH/TO/FILE(S)
So in your case since the quarantine flag is not being removed you will want to run the command with sudo as the primary cause for the flag not being removed after hitting "Open" is because you don't have permissions to do so.
You should probably use another app for screensharing and messaging. If you choose to do this, I reccomend Adium for messaging and TeamViewer for screensharing. I searched the contents of the whole iChat application, and I couldn't find anything, which leads me to believe that the pop up (I've had it too) is not actually part of the iChat application, but used by iChat.
