I have a few custom dylibs that I want to import in my unreal C++ project and use them.  
Can someone please let me know the steps to be performed for the same?

Thanks,  
Akshay Shah.

I only know that plugin can wrap “.dll”. I’m not sure about “.lib”.

Maybe you can take a look at this tutorial.

Thanks for your response. If we use “.dll” will that work on all platforms? iOS/Android/MAC/Linux?
