Trying to Figure out how to delete a user account (iOS/Swift)
If i have a button in an app that allows a user to delete their account, can I not just call a function from my swift app to Appwrite to have the account deleted? Do I need to setup a server to do that(?)
TL;DR
Developers looking to delete a user account (iOS/Swift) can utilize Cloud Functions and the Users API. It's not recommended to handle account deletion directly in the client-side SDKs. A button in the app can trigger a function call to Appwrite for account deletion. No need to set up a separate server for this task.(assuming users would only be deleting their own accounts)
You can use a Cloud Function for that. Afaik, account deletion on client side sdks isn't an intended behaviour.
okay thanks! I'll go and poke around functions for bit haha
Hint : Functions + Users API. Feel free to ping back if you face any issues.
i really appreciate it - thank you!!
