How to Access Unity's Mono API?

Hello everyone,

I am working on a project where I need to interact with Unity’s Mono API directly for native plugin work and more low-level functionality.

Could someone guide me on how to access Unity’s Mono API? I’m looking for advice on how to integrate and use Mono within Unity projects.

I came across some code written by ChatGPT for this purpose, but unfortunately, it doesn’t compile in my native plugin.

    MonoAssembly* unityAssembly = mono_domain_assembly_open(domain, "UnityEngine.dll");
    MonoImage* unityImage = mono_assembly_get_image(unityAssembly);
    MonoClass* debugClass = mono_class_from_name(unityImage, "UnityEngine", "Debug");

    // Find the Log method
    MonoMethodDesc* methodDesc = mono_method_desc_new("UnityEngine.Debug:Log(string)", false);
    MonoMethod* logMethod = mono_method_desc_search_in_class(methodDesc, debugClass);
    mono_method_desc_free(methodDesc);

    // Create a MonoString for the message
    MonoString* monoMessage = mono_string_new(mono_domain_get(), message);

    // Prepare the arguments
    void* args[] = { monoMessage };

    // Call the Log method
    mono_runtime_invoke(logMethod, nullptr, args, nullptr);

Any help or pointers to documentation would be greatly appreciated!
