Is there any solution for runtime code compilation in Unity3D for IL2Cpp builds?

I'm trying to compile C# code at runtime in Unity3D for IL2CPP build 64 bit Android.

I have a string of code that I want to compile and execute dynamically. The things that I've tried are:

  1. https://github.com/aeroson/mcs-ICodeCompiler
  2. https://github.com/SoapCode/UCompile/tree/master/Assets/UCompile
  3. https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/roslyn-c-runtime-compiler-142753#reviews

But what I got to understand is that all of the above doesn't work with IL2Cpp builds.

The below code is carried out using: Second Github repo mentioned above.

CSScriptEngine engine = new CSScriptEngine();
engine.AddUsings("using UnityEngine; using System; using System.Collections.Generic;");
engine.AddOnCompilationFailedHandler(OnCompilationFail);
IScript result = engine.CompileCode(@codeToConvert);

With second plugin:

You cannot use dynamic keyword with IL2CPP - something about the way IL2CPP works. From what I hear, there will likely never be support for this with IL2CPP.

Cast to an explicit object and use that, instead, perhaps.
