Remove App
Before removing an app make sure your wish to continue as this process is not reversible. When removing an app it set into a permanent state of "Removed". While the app is not physically removed entirely it can not be restored. We keep the app in a state of Removed instead of entirely deleting to keep track of app identities. These identities are reverse domain ID of an app that should not be reused.
What Gets Deleted Automatically
Deployment History Tracks and deployment tasks that the app has processed or queued.
Deployment Logs Logs from build machine related to deployments.
Signing Keys Any signing keys created for app signing. This is for android apps.
Cached Assets and Project on Build Machine Project files, Assets and configurations.
App Design The configuration of the app design. This does not remove the theme created from the app design which could be used in content.
Secondary Domain If applicable the secondary domain will be removed. This is usually a subdomain created for the web app.
Test Bundles Any test bundles uploaded to the platform such as .ipa (iOS App) or .aab (Android Bundle) files.
Firebase Hosting The web app hosted on firebase will be removed.
