When going to transfer my iOS app to another developer, I got this message
You can't transfer this app because of the following reasons:
iCloud enabled
You can only transfer apps that aren’t iCloud enabled.
Deleting and Transferring Apps Documentation
The documentation states:
Make sure the app uses only technology and content that can be transferred.
No version of the app can use an iCloud entitlement.
Since a version of my app used iCloud, is there literally no way I can transfer it? If there is a way, how should I proceed?

Let's take transfer purchased apps to another Apple ID as an example. Step 1. On App Store on your iPhone, tap your profile picture in the upper-right corner, then tap Purchased. Step 2 Tap the name of your previous Apple ID to get the contents > Tap Download icon next to each app to download it.
Step 1. Select the apps on the old iPhone that you want to send to the new iPhone and hit the “Share” button then choose the destination iPhone. Step 2. On your new iPhone, tap “Accept” to allow Airdrop transfer selected apps from your old to the new iPhone.
You can transfer all your apps to a new iPhone from an iCloud backup during initial setup. Before transferring the apps using iCloud, make sure you've made an iCloud backup of your old phone. You can also use the App Store to choose which apps you'd like to download on your new iPhone.
Go to have a check if your iCloud storage is full. If your iCloud storage is full, the apps may not be included in this version of iCloud backup, let alone transfer them to your new iPhone. On your previous iPhone, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Storage to view your available iCloud backup.
The app must be deleted and re-created with a new SKU/Bundle ID.
Remove the app from sale by going to Pricing > Select Territories > Deselect All
Delete the app under More (to the right of Prerelease, Pricing etc) > Delete App
Create the app under the developer account as a new app with the same name with a new SKU/Bundle ID.
This will delete any reviews/ratings, gamecenter data, iCloud data, and any other data linked to that app. You'll have to recreate any in app purchases you had.
