how to move an app with the same bundle identifier to another apple developer account?

so currently I am developing an app with certain bundle identifier. previously I use one apple developer account, and we plan to change the apple developer account associated with this app.

when I change the 'team' to the new apple developer account like this:

enter image description here

then I get an error like this:

Failed to create provisioning profile. The app ID "xxxxx" cannot be registered to your development team. Change your bundle identifier to a unique string to try again.

No profiles for 'xxxxx' were found Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'xxxxxxx'.

it seems that I have to change the bundle identifier. I don't want to change the bundle identifier.

I have tried to inspect in my previous apple developer account, I thought that i have to delete something related to the bundle identifier in that previous apple developer account, but I can't find it (maybe I don't know where the file that needs to be deleted)

what should I do if I want to use the same bundle identifier app but change the apple developer account ?

I little bit confused here,

enter image description here

when I first develop the app, I don't have paid apple developer account for my company, I just use the free account, and this app is associated with that Personal Team (ads IT solution), my apple ID for this Personal Team let say is [email protected],

and then with this same apple ID ([email protected]) then I enroll as organization (my company).

but when log in to this organization account, I can't the bundle identifier on the App IDs section.

it seems the free account and the paid account seems different. and it seems this bundle identifier is associated with that personal account (free account)

I don't know how to access that persoanl team account, because when I login using the same apple ID, I will be directed to the organization account

Can you transfer an app from one Apple developer account to another?

To transfer an app, just go into your Developer Account and on the App Summary page, click on the Transfer App button. Only the team agent can initiate this process. The next screen will verify that you meet all the criteria for transfer.

Can you transfer an app from one developer account to another?

You can transfer the ownership of an app to another developer without removing the app from the App Store. The app retains its reviews and ratings during and after the transfer, and users continue to have access to future updates.

Can two apps have the same bundle ID?

A bundle ID or bundle identifier uniquely identifies an application in Apple's ecosystem. This means that no two applications can have the same bundle identifier. To avoid conflicts, Apple encourages developers to use reverse domain name notation for choosing an application's bundle identifier.

Can I change bundle ID in App Store Connect?

Once your app is approved and available for download on the Apple App Store, your Bundle ID cannot be changed.

I just ran into the same issue.

  1. Go to your Apple developer account where the app is currently registered.
  2. Click "Certificates, IDs & Profiles" on the left column.
  3. Click Identifiers on the left column.

enter image description here

  1. Click on the row with the identifier you want to use on your new Apple account.
  2. Click "Remove" on the top right.

enter image description here

  1. Confirm that you would like the identifier and profile to be removed everywhere

You should now be able to click "retry" in xCode, and the identifier will be able to link with your new account.
