I want to know what issues gives me Firebase if I transfer an app from one apple developer account to another developer account?
Do I need to modify something on firebase portal?
The bundle ID never will be modified.
Nothing, just make sure to transfer over the GoogleServiceInfo.plist it made you download in the first place if it's a new project, otherwise just leave it as is.
all you'd be doing is changing the developer account its working from

I have an IOS app and bundle id with "org.application.ios". I wanted to transfer an app to another account. There is an issue with plugins used so unable to transfer the same.
So planning to delete from one developer account and create the app with same name and bundle id. Is it possible that existing users will get update for the new app uploaded.
#ios #developer.
No, you can't re-use the bundle id from another account.
As per App Store Connect help
If you remove an app, you will lose ownership of the app name. Removed
apps can only be restored if the name is not currently in use by
another developer account. In addition, the SKU can’t be reused in the
same organization and if you’ve uploaded a build, your bundle ID can’t
be reused.
You’ll need to contact Apple. If you want the same app (so that updates work) apple must move the app to another developer account, you can’t do that yourself.
So I have a client who I’ve built this app for. The app had reached its MVP so we launched it and transferred the app to their developer account. Now I want to continue working on the app for them but I don’t have the proper certificate on my device to make changes to the project on the clients developer account. How do I go about getting the proper certificates set up so I can upload new app versions of the app to their App Store Connect account?
There is two solutions I can think of :
They can add your Apple developer account into their new developer account and give you the developer access (or admin access to have a bigger freedom). Therefore you will be able to recreate certificates for you in order to work on your project. (for me this is the best approach and it keep things clean). To do so, just ask one of the admin of the itunesconnect account on your client side, and he will add you as a Developer Manager in the account.
you can ask them to export their new certificates as a .p12 file (which contain the private and public keys) and their provisioning profile from their Mac OS key chain (the developer or team from your client that is handling the app nowadays if any). Then you will have no issue at all. (I do not recommend this one and vouch for the first one even if second one seems easy). Also if tomorrow they changed it or revoke it will require to do again the same update..
I'm developing an iOS app in Xcode 12.2 for a client.
The client does not have an Apple Developer account yet, so I'm using the Testflight of my own account to test the app with the designer.
The app uses AppGroups, let's say I have a group named "group.com.myorg.appname".
I'm also using CoreData, and will implement NSCloudKitContainer very soon.
My question is:
Once the client has purchased a developer account, can I easily delete my version from my Testflight, and then add it to the client's Testflight, without issues?
For example, do I have to change the AppGroup identifier? And is this a problem for iCloud?
I have read this answer which contains lots of good information, but didn't allow me to be sure about iCloud or the AppGroup identifier. This was also very useful but incomplete. I've also read information about app transfert, but in my case the app is not published, it's just in Testflight, there's no publishing before moving to the client's account.
If you do not want to lose the IDs, the safest option is the transfer the app to the new account rather than deleting it. If you have push notification certificates, these would need to be regenerated on the new account. However the same goes for the App Groups. You will need to delete it from your old account to release the ID and make it available for the new one. There shouldn’t be issues doing this since it is not launched yet. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/70297
I have an app uploaded on Testflight which has been expired from my developer account. I want to upload the same app to Test flight from another company developer account. Will it create a conflict?
There is no transfer option in Testflight mode.
If you haven't already read the documentation, you can find it here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/TransferringAndDeletingApps.html
Key points to highlight in your case would be:
Make sure your accounts aren’t in a pending or changing state.
The App must have had at least one version that has been released to
the App Store
The last point is the most troublesome but it happens -_-
I am having an app which is ready to upload on appStore.
I have successfully created my profiles and now trying to validate my app through xCode.
But As my apps are transferred from another developer account. It gives me error like shown in the below screenshot.
There is not Entitlement.plist file in my project anywhere.
This is the newer version of my app so I can't change the bundle Id also.
How can I solve this issue?
Please help me on this.
Seems like the AppId is different (the first part) in the current bundle, ideally it should get transferred to your developer account when the app is transferred. Check on that first and also ,
Make Sure you signing with the correct provision file from your developer account.
On the iTunes Connect developer guide says ,
To maintain a great user experience within the app, make sure the
recipient is informed about any special functionality such as keychain
details or push notifications. In this way, that functionality will be
maintained in the app for future updates. App IDs are transferred
automatically in the Provisioning Portal.
and also
After an app is transferred, its associated App ID is also transferred
to the recipient’s Member Center account. If the transferor’s App ID
was a wildcard App ID, it’s converted to an explicit App ID that
exactly matches the app’s bundle ID. Associated client SSL
certificates for push notifications aren’t transferred. If the app
uses Apple Push Notifications service (APNs), the recipient needs to
create a client SSL certificate using Member Center to reenable it.
