Once an app has been transferred what happens with regard to bundle Ids etc. Do I just create them in my developer portal along with certificates and provisioning profiles or do bundle ids automatically get transferred as well?

Is there anything else that gets transferred along with the App?

I found the app transfer process to be fairly straightforward.

After an app transfer:

  • The app is transferred to your dev account
  • The Bundle ID stays the same (and becomes yours)
  • The App ID Prefix changes (from the previous developer's Team ID, to your Team ID)

Xcode

Signing & Capabilities:

  • "Team" should show your dev Team
  • "Bundle identifier" should be the same as before the transfer

Nowadays, I generally let Xcode automatically handle all of the Certificate/Profile side of things, but you can still do it manually, if you prefer.

After an app is transferred, its associated bundle ID is also transferred to the recipient’s developer account. I recommend reviewing the App Transfer Overview in App Store Connect Help for guidance on how the different features in your app may be impacted by app transfer.
