Cannot transfer app due to Apple Sign In

Hello,

recently I tried to transfer my app to another developer account (buy out) but I cannot transfer it since I am using Apple Sign In.

I was forced to enabled Apple Sign In because I am using also another third-party login system (Facebook) so the review team rejected my app until I implemented Apple Sign In.

Now that I have added it to the app I cannot transfer it anymore.

What should I do?


Thank you,

Nicola

Yeah according to the App Transfer Criteria in the App Store Help here, "Apps using Sign in with Apple cannot be transferred."


What is really unfortunate about that requirement is that there are a ton of apps that will need Sign in with Apple starting June 30, and once converted, they can't be transferred as-is.


The right solution is not clear to me how someone would transfer an app after implementing SIWA.


Perhaps you would need to create your own authentication system, and then the SIWA rule wouldn't apply to you. Not super practical, but it's one way around it.

It seems like this is now possible!


At least this is what I understand from the info here:
