Transfer of App Ownership Help

[roflman79]

I am a single developer with a standard iOS developer account with Apple. I have created an free app that is on the App Store for a large local business. They would like to move it onto their own dev account, possibly an iOS Enterprise Developer account. I have got in touch with Apple about how to do this and have got the following back:

Please know we still will need to receive business or court documentation from your secretary of state which reflects the nature of the change in legal entity or acquisition. Please fax the requested information to 1-408-862-1519, and please be sure to include the following information: Attn: XXXXXXXXXX.

I have asked them what they need more specifically but have just received the same email again, I have no idea what this is? Do I simply put something on some company letterheaded paper stating that I pass all ownership over to the company and then fax that over?

Anybody else gone through this process?

It can be a long an complicated process, which sadly may result in the app being unavailable for a time.

Since the app is free, and you don't need to worry about supporting paying customers who have purchased the app under your account there is another option (and one I recently used when I sold one on my games to a big publisher)...

Remove the app from sale in your account, and actually delete the app completely from iTunes Connect (this fee's up the name to be re-used). Next get the company who you wish to transfer the app to to set up the app again in their iTunes Connect, and get them to re-upload the binary - yes, the app will need to go through the approval process again, but it'll be back on the App Store a lot sooner than the process that Apple suggest.
