@anishprasad01 thank you for the contribution! would this break using Emulator with ngrok v2?

@cwhitten,

I attempted to run with Ngrok v2.3.40 and was successfully able to connect to a bot hosted in Azure. Since the region field was optional in Ngrok v2, its presence should not break anything. I will perform further testing before this PR gets merged.

coverage: 66.953% (-0.7%) from 67.69% when pulling 3489b62 on anishprasad01/ngrok-v3-fix into d144dd2 on main.

Testing with both Ngrok v2 and v3 reveals that v2 remains supported even with the modifications made to support v3. Communication with an Azure bot is successful and no errors appear when running or exiting the application. A search of running processes after exiting the application reveals that the Ngrok process is terminated successfully.

Testing with v2:

Testing with v3:

hi! PM for ngrok here. I'd love to see this PR merged so that we could move your users to the latest version of the ngrok agent. If I can help in any way, please let me know.

Any update on this? Unfortunately it seems ngrok v2 is not usable anymore and Emulator is not working with any version of Ngrok v3. So, at the moment, it is not possible to contact a remote bot with Emulator.
