Patching ngrok macOS arm64 binary to run on iOS
- The ngrok binary is taken from a macOS arm64 build.
- By default, some checks prevent a macOS binary from running on iOS. This repository contains a patcher to fix them.
- There are a few missing functions. Stubs can be found in
stubs.c.ngrokdoesn't appear to use these functions. Forcing dyld to the flat namespace mode and insert the stubs can be used as a workaround.
This can be done directly on a jailbroken iOS environment. You need to find and install iOS SDK (on Procursus, it is build-essential).
- Install required tools (
clang,Darwin CC Tools,git,ldid,build-essential). One-line command:sudo apt install -y build-essential clang git ldid odcctools. - Place
ngrokinto/usr/bin/ngrok_bin.

# Set path to the SDK. The path below is an example, but is default in Procursus's build-essential

ngrok ...Note: since macOS's ngrok build is 11.0 (which is compatible with iOS 14.0), this might not work on iOS below 14.0.
