hi james,

don't know safari extensions, did want tell apple developer program , "code signing", since had deal myself recently. struggled too; want money don't make clear how free membership.

not need paid membership create what's called "developer id" , more importantly, code-sign apps on local machine, dabbling , testing.

follow instructions here: https://livecode.com/how-to-create-a-free-ios-development-provisioning-profile/

(ignore fact talks developing ios. same process applies, regardless of target platform)

tell how set developer id create code-signing identity in local keychain, using xcode 7, can code-sign local apps. then, when comes time code-sign apps/extensions in xcode or automator, can select newly created developer id code-signing.

but, remember if want distribute apps someday later, you'll have pay money.

now, on membership signup page, once sign up, , prompts "enroll", don't enroll. @ point, should have free id.

let me know if still have trouble.
