How IL2CPP works

Upon starting a build using IL2CPPA Unity-developed scripting back-end which you can use as an alternative to Mono when building Projects for some platforms. More info

, Unity automatically performs the following steps:

  1. Compiles Unity Scripting API code to regular .NET DLLs (managed assemblies).

  2. Applies managed bytecode stripping. This step significantly reduces the size of a built game.

  3. Converts all managed assemblies to standard C++ code.

  4. Compiles the generated C++ code and the runtime part of IL2CPP with a native platform compiler.

  5. Links the code into either an executable file or a DLL, depending on the platform you are targeting.
