Clear iOS cache programmatically

Question

How can I programmatically clean the app cache on iOS, so the user can restart the app like if it was a clean reinstall?

Answer 1

I think you can do it by clearing all URLs Something like this:

import Foundation

class CacheManager {
    static func clearAppCache() {
        // Define the cache directory path
        guard let cacheDirectory = FileManager.default.urls(for: .cachesDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first else {
            return
        }
        
        do {
            // Get all files in the cache directory
            let fileURLs = try FileManager.default.contentsOfDirectory(at: cacheDirectory, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil, options: [])
            
            // Delete each file
            for fileURL in fileURLs {
                try FileManager.default.removeItem(at: fileURL)
            }
            
            print("Cache cleared successfully!")
        } catch {
            print("Error clearing cache: \(error.localizedDescription)")
        }
    }
}

// Usage example:
CacheManager.clearAppCache()
