Updating a transfered iOS app

Last week we've transferred a published app in iTunes Connect to another company's account. Now they want us to provide an update to the app.

How do we sign, package and submit the app to them for publishing? Which Provisioning profile do we need to use? Do we still sign the .ipa with our team and send the .ipa to them or do we need to have additional info for this to work?

I hope someone is able to shed some light on this process, since the whole provisioning and signing process is hard to grasp for me.

Solution

  • Recently we have transferred our app to another company and we have pushed an update to the app. Let me explain you how we did

    1. Once you transfer the app to another company account, you will not be able to use your old certificates for publishing any new update for app.

    2. Apple by default removes your certificates and appid from your previous account.

    3. Apple generates an app id for your app in transferred account.

    4. You can use this app id and create new certificate for your app and publish the app by using new account.
