How to take a production ready build of a plugin in Nopcommerce 4.50?

I've followed this (https://docs.nopcommerce.com/en/developer/plugins/how-to-write-plugin-4.50.html) and built a plugin which shows up on the local plugins menu.
It also appears in the Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins folder.

I need to deploy this in production now. I took a zip file of all contents of the plugin in the Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins folder and tried deploying but could not. Here's the error I see:



I tried renaming the json file and here comes another error.



Out of curiosity I visited nop's official store and checked a few plugins (this) and saw an entirely different file structure that has the plugin that supports many versions of nopcommerce.

Can anyone please guide me on how I can make a deploy-able  production build of a plugin so I can install it on my production server? Or point me to any resources online. I tried google but did not get far.

You can look at any one of he free plugins in the marketplace and use the same structure / format and edited uploadedItems.json file
For example

where is the uploadedItems.json.
I find one in src\Libraries\Nop.Services\Plugins\Samples\uploadedItems.json
But i think  it'not what you say since i read the json content.
Should I create a new one in which path?

Copy this arrangment of files and add in you plugin instead of this plugins files
edit the uploadedItems.json to point to your files
Then Re-Zip the new arrangment of files
