AppBox leaves temporary files in ~/Library/Containers/.../tmp, eventually filling the disk #269
Description
Description
After each signing session AppBox leaves the artefacts it creates inside
~/Library/Containers/com.developerinsider.AppBox/Data/tmp.
Nothing ever cleans these up, so the directory keeps growing until the start-up disk eventually runs out of free space.
Expected behaviour
Temporary items should be removed automatically when a session ends.
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch the latest release of AppBox.
- Sign any IPA (either personal Team or Distribution).
- Quit AppBox.
- Open Finder or run
du -sh ~/Library/Containers/com.developerinsider.AppBox/Data/tmp. - Notice that the temporary IPA bundle and ancillary files remain.
- Repeat the process a few times – the folder size keeps climbing until the disk is full.
Details
-

Additional context
- A manual workaround is running
rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.developerinsider.AppBox/Data/tmp/*after each use. - Suggestion: move all transient work to macOS’s
NSTemporaryDirectory()path, or callFileManager.default.removeItem(at:)on completion of a signing task.
