Remove an app
To remove an app from your main view in My Apps, it must be first removed from the App Store and any associated in-app purchases must be removed from sale.
Additionally, you can only remove apps if all versions of that app are in one of the following states:
Prepare for Submission
Invalid Binary
Developer Rejected
Rejected
Metadata Rejected
Developer Removed from Sale
Removed from Sale
Apps can’t be removed if they’re in an app bundle, currently available on the App Store, associated with in-app purchases available for sale, or if they're being actively transferred to another account.
If the app is part of an app bundle and hasn't been approved yet, it must be removed from the bundle before it can be removed from your main view in My 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.
