Collection of source code for Unity IL2CPP
All code in libil2cpp is dumped directly from the Unity installer (Windows)
List of IL2CPP versions corresponding to Unity versions
In Unity products, there are numerous resource files, including Unity engine default resources and custom resources added by developers. Default resources are typically not encrypted, but custom resources may be. These files contain information about the version of Unity used to build the project.
To obtain this information, read the file using a hex editor (e.g. 010 Editor or ImHex). In the following example, we read the unity default resources file. Near the beginning of the file, 2021.3.20f1 indicates the Unity version. According to Version Reference, the corresponding IL2CPP version is 29.
