Hello, I’m an amateur just getting started on Oculus Quest development. I have a sample project which I can launch on the Quest already. In the past I’ve used this tutorial ([A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Creating_%26_Linking_Static_Libraries_And_Make_Your_Own_Blueprint_Node_With_VS_2017_%26_UE4)) to compile a static C++ library into the engine. I’d like to do the same thing on the Quest- to isolate some c++ code in a standalone library and integrate it to my Oculus Quest game. I’m a little lost on how to get started, though, and I haven’t done much tinkering with android in the past. Does anyone have any tutorials on how to get this going, or could anyone kindly give me some broad, high-level advice on what I need to do to accomplish this? I’m just using the 4.22.2 UE4 engine from Github and the free version of visual studio 2017 at the moment. Any pointers greatly appreciated. ---

Did you ever figure out a good workflow or come across helpful resources? I am looking to accomplish the same goal. ---

I actually had to take a break on this project for a while, but will start up again shortly. I’ll post more if I come across anything helpful. Please let me know if you find anything either. =] Here’s a couple of links, I was next thinking of trying to follow these, but try to use a .so instead of a .dll and go from there.

Awesome, thank you for the resources. I will let you know if I make any progress.
