I think snap have been there for over may year. It autosave recent versions during edit session. In J8 you can use config to set maximum number of snapshot or disable it. But I suggest you do not disable it even if you think you don't need its service. Perhaps it can help you just in case. You can delete its content when you think they are no longer needed.
You may add a run script in xcode build phases to automatically trash files inside the snap folder. (untested) snap folder may or may not be re-created, this depends on your profile.ijs or profilex.ijs Сб, 08 июл 2017, Ian Clark написал(а): > Inside an Apple Xcode project, I am managing a cut-down J805 installation > which gets embedded in the resulting app. The app (TABULA) is nearing the > beta-test stage and I must attend to questions of security.
