Remove an app

To remove an app from your main view in Apps, you must first remove it from the App Store. Also, remove any associated in-app purchases from sale. For alternative app distribution, you must also remove the app from marketplace distribution. To do this, deselect the app from each marketplace in the Integrations tab under Users and Access.

You can’t remove apps that are in the following states: Ready for Review, Waiting for Review, In Review, Metadata Rejected, or Rejected. Apps that are actively being transferred to another account or are part of an app bundle also can’t be removed. If the app is part of an app bundle and hasn’t been approved yet, you must remove it from the bundle before it can be removed from your main view in Apps. App bundles can’t be removed.

WARNING: If you remove an app, you’ll lose ownership of the app name. Removed apps can only be restored if the name isn’t currently in use by another developer account. In addition, the SKU can’t be reused in the same organization and if you’ve uploaded a build, your bundle ID can’t be reused.

Required role: Account Holder or Admin. View role permissions.

Remove an app

In Apps, select the app you want to remove.
In the sidebar, under General, click App Information.

In the dialog that appears, click Remove.

Restore an app

In Apps, click the arrow next to All Statuses in the top right.

Note: If the removed app is the only app in your account, it will be listed in Apps. To restore the app, follow steps 3 to 6.
Click the app you want to restore.
In the menu, choose Removed Apps.
In the sidebar, click App Information.
Scroll to the Additional Information section and click Restore App.
In the dialog that appears, select Limited Access or Full Access, then click Restore.

Note: If you select Full Access, all users will have access to the app. Users with the Admin or Finance roles, as well as those with access to reports or Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, always have access to all apps.

If the app name is no longer available, the app can't be restored. If you believe an app is preventing you from using your trademark as an app name on the App Store, you can submit a claim.
