Remove Template from Templates Repository

This skill removes a template from the SalesforceMobileSDK-Templates repository.

Prerequisites

• Template name to remove (e.g., iOSNativeSwiftTemplate)
• Template's appType from templates.json (e.g., native_swift, hybrid_local)
• Know if this is the last template with that appType

Steps

1. Remove Template Directory

cd SalesforceMobileSDK-Templates
git rm -r <TemplateName>

2. Update templates.json

File: templates.json

Remove the template entry completely:

{
    "path": "TemplateName",
    "description": "...",
    "appType": "...",
    "platforms": ["..."]
}

3. Update setversion.sh

File: setversion.sh

Remove references in two sections:

Section 1: build.gradle.kts (Android templates only)

# Remove line like:
update_build_gradle_dependencies "./TemplateName/app/build.gradle.kts"  "${OPT_VERSION}"

Section 2: package.json (all templates)

# Remove line like:
update_package_json "./TemplateName/package.json"  "${SDK_TAG}"
# or for SPM templates:
update_package_json "./TemplateName/package.json"  "${SDK_TAG_SPM}"

4. Check test_template.sh

File: test_template.sh

Usually no changes needed - script reads templates.json dynamically.

Check for: Special handling or explicit exclusions of this template.

5. Update TESTING.md

File: TESTING.md

Search for: Template name in examples.

Remove: Any documentation specifically mentioning this template.

6. Update CLAUDE.md

File: CLAUDE.md

Remove template from:

• Available Templates section
• Template tables (Native iOS, Native Android, React Native, Hybrid)
• Any examples referencing this template

7. Update README.md

File: README.md

Remove template from:

• Available Templates section
• Template tables organized by platform
• Usage examples featuring this template

8. Verify No References Remain

grep -r "TemplateName" --exclude-dir=node_modules .

Validation

Checklist

• Template directory removed with git rm -r
• templates.json updated
• setversion.sh updated (both sections if applicable)
• test_template.sh checked (updated if needed)
• TESTING.md checked (updated if needed)
• CLAUDE.md updated
• README.md updated
• No references remain: grep -r "TemplateName" --exclude-dir=node_modules .

Test Remaining Templates

Run the test script to ensure remaining templates still work:

./test_template.sh

Or test specific templates:

./test_template.sh --template <OtherTemplateName>

Commit and Push

git add -A
git commit -m "Remove <TemplateName> template

Removed template directory and all references from:
- templates.json
- setversion.sh
- TESTING.md
- CLAUDE.md
- README.md"

git push origin <branch-name>

Next Steps

After pushing to a branch, proceed to the Package repository to update references there.
