Can we provide a method to include some customer .so or .dll files in certain folder like /libs/arm-v7a/ ... for export to android or other os? I tried to modify the export template apk to add .so ,but I failed. I tried to add .so in visual studio project file, but can not find the options. BUT IT REALLY IMPORTTANT FOR MANY USERS, because you can not make sure that your C# project does not need the native library like .so or .dll. Besides including the native lib, we must to keep the relative path to executable file. I think it will be a great improvement for Godot Project.

What native library are you trying to include? Godot C# projects work like normal C# projects, so the usual way of including native libraries in your project should work. Any native libraries that are included in the dotnet publish process will be included in the APK's /lib directory.

For example, if you reference a NuGet package that includes native libraries, those native libraries should be included in the exported Android APK. As long as the NuGet package is packaged properly and includes the native libraries in the runtimes/{rid}/native directory¹.

Thank you for your reply. Can you give an example to include the native libraries in C# project to publish to Android Platform without using NuGet System?
