Packaging

Bundle your plugin for distribution.

During the development of your plugin, you worked with a .sdPlugin folder. However when your plugin is finalized, you shouldn't share this folder directly. Instead you should create a .streamDeckPlugin file using the DistributionTool. The DistributionTool tool validates your icon pack and produces a .streamDeckPlugin file which can be used for distribution.
