Safari Extension no longer works for Safari 13 #33

Hi @belaviyo ,

stupid me, I was so curious and straight away upgraded from Safari 12 to Safari 13 ... and Safari has now removed my loved KeePass-macpass-helper. It says it is a legacy extension, which is no longer supported in Safari 13.

Is there a chance you could upgrade to a Safari 13 Extension?

May be the AppleDeveloper Article "Converting a Legacy Safari Extension to a Safari App Extension" helps? (just a random guess, as I am just a simple Java-Developer-Mind.)

Happy to contribute with some donation.

Thanks in advance for considering

you can unpack the code and use the Safari Extension Builder to run the extension. (if it still exists on Safari 13). I am currently doing that on Safari 12 because when I upgraded from Safari 11 to 12. Safari removed my keepasshelper extension and I didn't have a copy. And it forced me to do it that way.

I believe one of the other issue tickets on here does mention there is not any plans to update it. The new Safari Extension require Developer ID and a signed extension. What does that mean? Well, I discovered that also means you have to create a "helper app" and make it a login item in order to make it reliable. On top of the fact it needs to written in ObjC/Swift and the inject code is JavaScript (and CSS) the extension part can not be in HTML anymore

All that being said I have rough Safari Extension built in ObjC. It will connect to a KeePassHTTP helper (such as MacPass's plugin) and re-used JavaScript to inject a dummy username and password. I am stuck on the encryption part for the HTTP request. I am really not real familiar with encryption in programming. I am looking at posting the code on a public repo on Github (as my time permits) to get some community assistance, but I haven't as of yet. I just haven't had a chance to clean up the code.
