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

Answer 1

The are additional considerations:

If you just can switch ownership of the Application behind the scenes, thus changing the contract, but not the application itself, you might be fine.

But if you're just going to transfer your source code, the future owner of the app will have to sign it with his own certificate, which will basically render the app as a "new" one.

Users will lose their settings (if your app did some configuration persistence) and they'll lose the app history in the appstore (ranking, etc.).
