Remove an app
To remove an app from your main view in Apps, it must first be removed from the App Store and any associated in-app purchases must be removed from sale. For alternative app distribution, you also need to remove the app from marketplace distribution by deselecting the app from each marketplace in the Integrations tab in Users and Access.
Additionally, you can’t remove apps that are in certain states (Ready for Review, Waiting for Review, or In Review), apps that are actively being transferred to another account, or apps in an app bundle. 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 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.
