Safari Developoment setup

• from the project directory, run xcrun /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/safari-web-extension-converter [PATH TO EXTENSION DIRECTORY]. This will create a build folder in your project directory and open Xcode.
• From Xcode (NOT YOUR USUAL IDE), delete the build folder that was created in the step above. Then run the project as a macos application. This will build the extension for you and give you a pop-up saying to quit and open Safari preferences.
  • NOTE: You must have Developer turn on and allow unsigned extensions to be run. Allowing unsigned extensions must be enabled every time you start a new Safari window.
• Enable the extension and begin testing/debugging.
