Hey guys!

Please, its not possible to remove or reuse an identifier (new app by removing the old one) through the developer portal?

https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/identifiers/list

Everytime we try to remove there is a message we can't:

There is a problem with the request entity The App ID 'xxxxxxxxxxx' appears to be in use by the App Store, so it can not be removed at this time.

But the app has been removed!!!

Does anyone knows how to delete/reuse an identifier by doing some action in the portal?

NOTE: we are low code - no Xcode (yes, so poor)

Thank u guys!

Right. Once App Store Connect ‘sees’ an App ID, you can no longer remove it from the Developer website.

Most folks in this situation just choose a slightly different bundle ID and move forward. For example, if the old app’s bundle ID was com.example.myapp and you want to create a new app with a similar name, you might use com.example.my-app. Bundle IDs aren’t seen by the user, so changes like this are generally fine.
