Overview

Summary

In this tutorial, we’ll explore creating and using native plug-ins in Unity. Native plug-ins are code that is written — typically in a C-based language — compiled outside of Unity, and imported as a prebuilt library. Native plug-ins are precompiled binaries on all build target platforms except iOS,  where the original code is imported instead, to be included in the Xcode project. Native plug-ins allow your Unity project to use existing C/Objective-C/C++ code or integrate with middleware libraries and work with hardware where the libraries are available.
