Swift Bits: Xcode Archive Migration

Free disc space and keep Xcode alive

It’s WWDC week 🎉! Prepare your MacBooks, Apple Developer apps, Apple TVs, and get ready for the latest betas.

For me, it always leads to a disk space audit and cleanup on some devices. Projects and experiments are fun and interesting until you have 8 GB left and SPM refuses to load 😬.

And for teams without CI/CD, where many builds are shared through TestFlight, one of the biggest storage hogs is Xcode Archives. I’m sharing how you can move them to a separate location and free up some valuable space.
