Apple-notarizing a new plugin for macOS

I've developed a plugin for Capture One on macOS, and I'm ready to distribute. However, I can't figure out how to get this packaged so I can submit it to Apple to get it notarized. The normal process for submitting an application is to use the Archive process in Xcode, but when I do this it is not including the plugin bundle. Does anyone know how to do this for a Capture One plugin?

  After more digging and a lot of trial and error, I figured out this must be done using command-line tools. Here are two links that cover everything I needed to do.

  This one covers signing the binaries (which need to be resigned to ensure they get a secure timestamp) and create the zip file:

  And this is how to actually get it notarized (skip the export part and use the zip created with the first link):
