Refresh_Token invalid error

[straylight-wandering]

Unable to successfully enter the Refresh_Token into the initial configuration screen of the CatGenie integration on HA.

Catgenie re-worked the phone authentication. There are a few new parameters that are encrypted and unique per request. Seems to be a form of firebase auth. The effort to update this integration is an entirely different beast now. It requires reverse engineering the authentication protocol in the IOS or Android app.

I gave it a go for a bit, which was made much easier now that CatGenie is available on OSX. The App can easily be decompiled, but it's a lot to sort through. I'd be interested in sharing if anyone else has given this attention.

@appkins I've noticed that myself where it started failing, and I could not figure out why. Some personal life things have happened, and I have dropped the ball on this project unfortunately.

As mentioned, if you have the code, hopefully someone can rework it, but right now, this integration is no longer working, and I don't have much time to tackle the decompiling of that code myself right at the moment.

At this point, it was nice while it lasted.

Just some notes for whoever comes after. I'm not interested in building out the workflows needed to get this back online, but I do have a rudimentary api client built out while I made while researching the device firmware download mechanisms

If anyone wants to see if they can use this, here's a link to my research stuff
