Transferring ownership of an iPhone app on the app store

Question

My team and I have an app which we\'re going to be submitting to the store pretty soon, but we know that we\'ll be selling the app to another company in the near future. Doe

iTunesConnect now allows App Transfers given certain app restrictions (no iCloud or Push Notifications apps are allowed currently. Local Notifications are ok, of course.)

See the iTunesConnect FAQ on App Transfers... https://itunesconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa/wo/10.0.0.9.1.0.9.1.5.10.1

You can only initiate or accept a transfer if your iTunesConnect login has the "Legal" role permissions.

AFTER THE TRANSFER: The teamId and bundleID will not change at all. Nor will any of the in-app purchase Ids.

In my company's developer account, I now see an app with EXACTLY THE SAME TeamID.BundleID as I saw in the source code that was purchased from the other company (and that source code was delivered separately, not via Apple)...

ex. BundleID = com..

This bundleId is now listed among my other apps listed in iTunesConnect's Provisioning Profiles. I simply created new Development and Distribution/AdHoc provisioning profiles for my newly purchased app. Then I downloaded the new provisioning profiles into Xcode, just like for any of your own apps.

Quite painless. Thank you Apple.
