ue4precompileplugins.md

The solution I'm using is the following:

Compile the plugin using the command line:

"ENGINE_DIR\UE_4.22\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\RunUAT.bat" BuildPlugin -Plugin="PATH_TO_MY_PLUGIN\MyPlugin.uplugin" -Package="PATH_TO_BUILD_FOLDER" -TargetPlatforms=Win64 -Rocket -precompile

Obviously replace ENGINE_DIR, PATH_TO_MY_PLUGIN, MyPlugin, PATH_TO_BUILD_FOLDER

Note that you should either add -precompile to the argument (as above) or put bPrecompile=true into your build.cs files

After building the plugin is done add/replace bPrecompile=true with bUsePrecompiled = true

Delete all the .cpp files (in the source and intermediate folders) (Untested: you can even delete the header files but then you can't extend the cpp classes anymore)

Your plugin is now ready to use without the source code
