How to return string from native iOS plugin to unity?

I'd like to clarify previous answer. C# declaration:

[DllImport("__Internal")]private static extern string getString();

Returning a string from objc is exactly like @Cabrra said:

char* convertNSStringToCString(const NSString* nsString){    if (nsString == NULL)        return NULL;    const char* nsStringUtf8 = [nsString UTF8String];    //create a null terminated C string on the heap so that our string's memory isn't wiped out right after method's return    char* cString = (char*)malloc(strlen(nsStringUtf8) + 1);    strcpy(cString, nsStringUtf8);    return cString;}extern "C" char* getString(){    const NSString* str = @"string";    return convertNSStringToCString(str);}

Though some people mentioned that this way will lead to a memory leak that is not right. This way works fine in Unity and no leaks occurs (I tested it many times). Unity clearly states that

String values returned from a native method should be UTF–8 encoded and allocated on the heap. Mono marshalling calls free for strings like this.

    extern "C"{    int _pow2(int x)    {        // Just a simple example of returning an int value        return x * x;    }    // Returns a char* (a string to Unity)    char* _helloWorldString()    {        // We can use NSString and go to the c string that Unity wants        NSString *helloString = @"Hello World";        // UTF8String method gets us a c string. Then we have to malloc a copy to give to Unity. I reuse a method below that makes it easy.        return cStringCopy([helloString UTF8String]);    }    // Here is an example of getting a string from Unity    char* _combineStrings(const char* cString1, const char* cString2)    {        // This shows we can create two NSStrings* from the c strings from Unity        NSString *string1 = CreateNSString(cString1);        NSString *string2 = CreateNSString(cString2);        NSString *combinedString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", string1, string2];        // Same as before, have to go to a c string and then malloc a copy of it to give to Unity        return cStringCopy([combinedString UTF8String]);    }}//I also like to include these two convenience methods to convert between c string and NSString*. You need to return a copy of the c string so that Unity handles the memory and gets a valid value.char* cStringCopy(const char* string){    if (string == NULL)        return NULL;    char* res = (char*)malloc(strlen(string) + 1);    strcpy(res, string);    return res;}// This takes a char* you get from Unity and converts it to an NSString* to use in your objective c code. You can mix c++ and objective c all in the same file.static NSString* CreateNSString(const char* string){    if (string != NULL)        return [NSString stringWithUTF8String:string];    else        return [NSString stringWithUTF8String:""];}
