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(?)

Summary

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.

Hint : Functions + Users API.
Feel free to ping back if you face any issues.
