Transfer an iOS App From One Account To other


The steps for the App transfer is given below. To complete the transfer, we need the Apple ID of the recipient’s Account Holder and their Team ID
My Apple ID: mphillips@bestpass.com
My Team ID: QX2AZ9XB9D


Step 1: Verify that your app is transferable
In order to transfer the app, it must meet the following criteria:
The App must have had at least one version that has been released to the App Store.
No version of the app can use an iCloud entitlement.
No version of the app can use a Passbook entitlement.
Both the transferor and recipient accounts can’t be in a pending or changing state, and the latest version of their paid and free agreements in the Agreements, Tax, and Banking section must be accepted.
The app should have one of the following app statuses:
Ready for Sale
Prepare for Submission
Developer Removed from Sale
Invalid Binary
Developer Rejected
Rejected
TestFlight beta testing should be turned off for all beta versions of the app.
Apps using Sign in with Apple cannot be transferred.

2.5) Agree to Apple’s terms and click “Request Transfer”

Step 3: Accept The App Transfer Agreement by Recipient
After the original Apple developer account has been submitted a transfer request, the recipient Account Holder will need to accept the app transfer by following these steps:
3.1) Log-in to recipient’s App Store Connect account
3.2) Click on Agreements, Tax, and Banking
3.3) Look for the app under “App Transfers”
3.4) Fill out all of the appropriate Metadata
3.5) Read Apple’s terms and click “Accept”

It can take up to two business days for the app transfer to complete, during which the app status is Processing App Transfer.
