Description

I'm trying to create a plugin to be used across two apps in the workspace. The plugin requires native libs, so simply using lib generator doesn't seem to create structure to allow me to add native libs. I tried to configure tsconfig, but it seems without having a package definition at the lib-level, building a plugin won't be possible, and I'm not sure how that can be achieved.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing the lib generator and its tsconfig and package-definition handling, then examine how a generated plugin could be consumed by both apps with native libraries. Done means the supported structure and build path are defined for this use case.
