If you are anything like me, and you are just getting started โ€” you may mess up (#PackageIdIssues) or just want to restart ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ. I couldnโ€™t find this info anywhere so here it is in case you need it.

  1. Log into App Store Connect: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/login
  2. Select My Apps
  3. Select the app that you are mad at ๐Ÿคฃ
  4. Tap on app information from the side menu
  5. Scroll right to the bottom of the page and click remove app

Quick Notes

You can change your mind

Your removed app is still available from the home screen in case you change your mind. Just tap on removed apps.

App store connect: Removed apps

The name may vanish

Once an app is removed you no longer have ownership of the name of the app and someone else may take it.

Restoring your app

You can restore your app, but there are a few gotchas: The SKU and BundleID cannot be reused. The app can only be restored if the name is still available at the time of your attempt to restore it.

Hope that helps somebody ๐Ÿ˜Š
