Can I transfer an app to another developer's iTunes Connect account?

Yes, you can transfer your app to another developer on iTunes Connect whenever your app is in a transferable state.

Transferring the ownership of an app does not affect the app’s availability on the App Store. All ratings and reviews will be transferred and your customers will continue to have access to all available app updates.

Which iTunes Connect user role can transfer an app?

The iTunes Connect user with the Legal role, also referred to as the Team Agent, can initiate and accept an app transfer.

How long will the transfer process take?

The transfer process for apps that are not iAd or Game Center enabled can take up to three hours from when the recipient accepts the transfer. If the app is iAd or Game Center enabled, or the app has any export compliance issues, the entire transfer process can take up to two business days.

Can I transfer multiple apps at a time?

No. Each app must be transferred individually.

What are the requirements for transferring an app?

To transfer an app, make sure that:

• The transferor and the recipient have active developer accounts and accepted the most current version of all master agreements that are currently in effect
• The app has at least one approved version
• The app is in the Ready for Sale, Invalid Binary, Rejected, Developer Rejected, or Developer Removed from Sale state
• Any associated In-App Purchases are in the Ready to Submit, Ready for Sale, Rejected, Developer Removed from Sale, or Approved state
• You know the Apple ID of the recipient’s Team Agent and their Team ID

If the app uses iAd, the transferor and the recipient must have accepted the most current version of all iAd contracts.

Why am I not able to transfer my app?

iCloud entitlements in any version of the app

Passbook entitlements in any version of the app

A SKU that matches the SKU of one of the recipient's apps, including previously-removed SKUs

In-App Purchase product IDs that match the In-App Purchase product ID of one of the recipient's apps, including previously-removed In-App Purchases

Approved auto-renewable, non-renewing, or free subscription In-App Purchases, including previously-removed In-App Purchase subscriptions

To transfer any of these types of apps, the recipient must create the app as a new app. Current customers, ratings, and reviews cannot be transferred to the new app.

To transfer an app, you must know the Apple ID of the recipient’s Team Agent and their Team ID.

To cancel the transfer, the transferor must click Revoke next to the app in the Contracts In Process subsection of the Transfer Agreements section.

The recipient can cancel the transfer by clicking Review next to the app in the Contracts In Process subsection of the Transfer Agreements section and clicking Decline on the App Transfer page.

How do I accept an app transfer?

After all required information has been provided, the user with the Legal role must accept the contract terms.

No. After the transfer, you will not be able to view the app’s history, Game Center, In-App Purchases, or other app information.

All of the information associated with this app will be transferred to the recipient. If you want to retain any of this information, you must compile it before the transfer is initiated.
