Just got an email saying I can now transfer my apps to another developer on expiry of my certificate for that app. Interesting and much needed, simplifies business with clients. Dear Apps can now be transferred from one developer to another within iTunes Connect, for example after an acquisition or when a distribution deal expires. 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. To transfer an app, go to the app’s App Summary page in the Manage Your Applications module on iTunes Connect and click Transfer App. Make sure that: Your account is active You have accepted the most current version of your contracts Your app has at least one approved version Your 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. For more information on app transfer, see the video tutorial on iTunes Connect. To find answers to common questions about app transfer, see the FAQ on iTunes Connect. Regards, The App Store

That is a sweet change. Have reg'd a few apps in my own name in the past then wished I hadn't. Good stuff.

Oh that is so much easier!

Nice! Thanks for the info! Cheers! -- Smug

Oh crap! Just made same thread and did not see yours. Will remove mine. Super super super cool! David https://buzztouchmods.com

that was long needed!

Oh man this is a great thing!!

I like to hear stuff like this. Keeps me motivated and shows me to keep going in the same direction!

I haven't received an email like that yet- is there a link to the news in the App Store?

This is great!!! I had to redo an app for a client because I could not transfer an app. Perfect timing Apple! haha.

Yep. Cloud, they were waiting for you to finish the new app before they released the news ;) Cheers! -- Smug

Of course, I hope I don't ever need to transfer my apps over to my clients - that would mean I'm probably out of business!

@chris You don't make your clients buy their own apple accounts? I tried doing that and Apple yelled at me for it - told me they should have their own accounts. heh. David https://buzztouchmods.com

really? I've never once made a client buy their own account.

Whoa that's crazy to me! Apple rejected my second clients app, called me up and told me that clients need to get their own apple accounts (they want their 99$ a year). The rejection letter also stated the same thing. Sigh - more proof the app review process is never the same for anyone lol! There are certain benefits for having clients buy their own accounts through. David https://buzztouchmods.com

Maybe because mine are all churches they don't care? Once mine go into review, they seem to pass by really quickly - almost like the reviewer isn't even going through the screens. Except one - got rejected b/c my client deleted the content out of a couple of the screens.

Possibly! You already know my type of clients, and apple knows that they have money for their own account so that may be it - darn them! David https://buzztouchmods.com
