As the volume of app acquisitions and purchases increases between
developers, an automated process for transferring apps between
developers has been created. Through this process, you can transfer
the ownership of an app to another developer without removing the app
from the App Store while retaining the reviews and chart position.
There is no limit to the number of apps you can transfer, but you must
transfer each app individually. Preparing to Transfer an App
After you have agreed to terms with another developer or company
outside of iTunes Connect, you can begin the process of transferring
your app. Only the team agent can initiate or complete an app
transfer.
Before you transfer an app to another developer, you need to ensure
that the app meets all of the following criteria:
App can not be using an iCloud entitlement.
App can not be using a Passbook entitlement.
All iAd related account information that is pending setup or pending
an update must be completed before the app can be transferred.
There is at least one approved version of the app.
App must be in a transferable state. You can transfer your app when it
is one of the following states.
Your developer account is not currently in the migration process (from
an individual to a company).
Transferor is on the latest version of the master agreements for the
same contract content types, including iOS paid, iOS free, iAd, Mac OS
X free, and Mac OS X paid.
App does not have any approved auto-renewable subscription, free
subscription, or non-renewing subscription In-App Purchases.
Note: Even if you have had subscriptions that were approved in the
past, but were deleted, the app is not currently eligible for App
Transfer.
In-app purchase Product IDs on the app are not the same Product IDs on
any apps in the recipient’s account.
In-app purchases must be in one of the following states:
Only apps that meet the above requirements can be transferred to
another developer.
After ensuring that your app meets all of the transfer requirements,
you can begin the transfer process. Transferring an App
Only the team agent with the Apple ID and team ID can transfer an app.
The team agent initiates an app transfer by clicking the Transfer App
button. Only the team agent is able to see this button.
