Description

Howdy!

I'm developing a plugin for an application and find the the output of macos_bundle is adding some friction.

What would be ideal is that I would `bazel build //plugin:foo` and have my bazel-bin/plugin/foo.aaxbundle in a stable location so that I can reliably test and debug in the host app.

Is this somehow possible to acheive?

Research direction

Start by locating the macos_bundle rule and examining how `bazel build //plugin:foo` produces the bundle and zip output. Done should provide `bazel-bin/plugin/foo.aaxbundle` in a stable location without requiring the zip archive.
