Xcode Trash Remover

This is a simple script to remove Xcode's trash files that are generated under development.

If you need a full fledged application, check out PureMac and xcode-dev-cleaner.

$ gem install xcode_trash_remover

$ xcclean

Usage: xcclean [options]
        --check           Checks the volumes
        --remove          Removes the files from your system
    -h, --help            Show this help

Pass exactly one of --check or --remove.

• Derived Data: Intermediate build information.

• Archives: Info about the target. Used for debbuging deployed applications.

• CoreSimulator/Devices: Simulators and devices. That's where Xcode stores the apps' data.

• iOS Support: iOS device support files used for on-device debugging.

• watchOS Support: watchOS device support files used for on-device debugging.

• Xcode Cache: Xcode's general cache (com.apple.dt.Xcode).

• SPM Cache: Swift Package Manager cache (org.swift.swiftpm).

You should only use this program if you're sure you're not going to use the information contained in these folders.

Run the test suite with:

$ bundle exec rake test

The GitHub Actions workflow runs the same command on pushes, and pull requests to main using Ruby 4.0.2.
