Old builds clear themselves away

Pro and Team

Every CI run uploads a build, and after a few months most of your storage is builds nobody will install again. Deleting them by hand is a chore that always waits.

Set a rule per project and AppForShare removes old builds once a day, while keeping the ones that still matter.

Example

Clean up, Shop app

  • RuleKeep newest 20 per platform, older than 90 days
  • Last run6 builds removed, 1.4 GB freed after the restore window
  • Kept by ruleChannel builds, client deliveries, store sends
Example values.

Made for

  • Teams that upload from CI on every merge
  • Agencies with many client projects on one plan
  • Anyone near their storage limit

What it ends

  • Storage full of builds from last spring
  • Being afraid to delete the build a client signed off

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Set the rule

    On the project's Testing page, an Owner or Admin sets "keep the newest N per platform" (5 to 200) and/or "older than" 30, 60, 90 or 180 days. With both, a build goes only when it breaks both.

  2. Step 2

    Mark what must stay

    Press Keep on any build page to keep it out of every clean up.

  3. Step 3

    It runs once a day

    Removed builds go to the normal 7 day restore list. The owner gets one email a week naming what went and the storage freed.

Never removed

The newest build of each platform, the build a channel opens now, builds in a client delivery (so every signed off version), builds sent to TestFlight or Google Play in the last 90 days and builds marked Keep.

Preview first

appforshare cleanup --project <id> --dry-run lists what a rule would remove; a real run needs --yes and an Owner or Admin token. The MCP tool cleanup_preview shows the same list to your AI assistant and cannot delete anything. Each run is a line in the activity feed.

Good to know

No. Builds in a client delivery are never removed.
