As I can remember, you are able to transfer one app to another developer account through iTunes Connect. There is an option on the right-hand side once you've clicked on the app you want to transfer. Note: Once the switch has been complete, you will no longer be able to access it from first account. – Punctate

This question appears to be off-topic because it is about Apple developer account processes. – Veedis

Answer 1

Yes it's possible. Go to iTunesConnect, click on the app you want to transfer and click on "transfer app".

The app will still be available on the app store during the transfer.

More information is available here in Apple Documentation.

Does Pushnotification Work after transferring the app ? – Hinson

@Abishek Mitra Check this out. It states that the certificates have to be renewed on the receivers account. So i assume that it doesn't work anymore. help.apple.com/itunes-connect/developer/#/deved688524f – Neonatal

You will find all the info you need here: Link

That is the official documentation, here's the relevant section:

As the volume of app acquisitions and purchases increases between developers, an automated process for transferring apps between developers has been created. Through this process, you can transfer the ownership of an app to another developer without removing the app from the App Store while retaining the reviews and chart position. There is no limit to the number of apps you can transfer, but you must transfer each app individually. Preparing to Transfer an App

After you have agreed to terms with another developer or company outside of iTunes Connect, you can begin the process of transferring your app. Only the team agent can initiate or complete an app transfer.

Before you transfer an app to another developer, you need to ensure that the app meets all of the following criteria:

App can not be using an iCloud entitlement.

App can not be using a Passbook entitlement.

All iAd related account information that is pending setup or pending an update must be completed before the app can be transferred.

There is at least one approved version of the app.

App must be in a transferable state. You can transfer your app when it is one of the following states.

• Ready for Sale

• Pending Contract

• Prepare for Upload

• Developer Removed from Sale

• Invalid Binary

• Developer Rejected

• Rejected

Your developer account is not currently in the migration process (from an individual to a company).

Transferor is on the latest version of the master agreements for the same contract content types, including iOS paid, iOS free, iAd, Mac OS X free, and Mac OS X paid.

App does not have any approved auto-renewable subscription, free subscription, or non-renewing subscription In-App Purchases.

Note: Even if you have had subscriptions that were approved in the past, but were deleted, the app is not currently eligible for App Transfer.

In-app purchase Product IDs on the app are not the same Product IDs on any apps in the recipient’s account.

In-app purchases must be in one of the following states:

• Approved

• Ready to Submit

• Developer Removed from Sale

• Rejected

Only apps that meet the above requirements can be transferred to another developer.

After ensuring that your app meets all of the transfer requirements, you can begin the transfer process. Transferring an App

Only the team agent with the Apple ID and team ID can transfer an app. The team agent initiates an app transfer by clicking the Transfer App button. Only the team agent is able to see this button.

Can I change the bundle ID after transfer? – Heracles

@TarekEl-Mallah did you find the answer on change the bundle ID ? and one more question, can we perform an update on the same bundle ID. (NOTE: the bundle ID has been transferred to the new apple developer account but the team identifier cannot be same!!) – Beguine

I didn't find a way to change the bundle ID. In short, to change bundle ID you need to create new application. ( this is as far as I know ) – Heracles

is it possible to transfer app within same account? like merge 2 apps? and the existing users of both app will get only one update as in result? – Diploma

@TarekEl-Mallah it's not possible to update the Bundle ID after a build has been uploaded for the app. read here – Inoculate
