Can I have two different games join the same session?

I have a game that used to work well with running the Android build of it (client) and joining a PC build of the same game (host). But now I can’t build the game to Android, because I am using a plugin that can’t work on Android (because of some Kiss FFT library or whatever). The plugin just adds a nice music-synced visual effect to the title screen which is not necessary at all and isn’t used in any of the actual gameplay levels.

So my question is, can I make another version of my game with that plugin and the blueprints that use it stripped out, build to android, and have it be able to join a session running on PC like I had it before? Or will it not see the session because they are different versions of the game with slightly different codebase?

I am asking now because it takes 6 hours to build the Android version and I want to know before I waste half the day on trying to do something that can’t be done)
