Transfer app failed because sharing a group container.

I have a very embarrassing problem. that I can't transfer my macOS app to another account. and above is wrong picture.

I already tried to delete the apps group. but it doesn't work.

this transfer is very important for our team. if anyone can tell me how to do, I will be very grateful.

What do you mean by that?

ah.. screenshot of reply error content

So App Store Connect Help is pretty clear about this:

Sandboxed Mac apps that share the Application Group Container Directory with other Mac apps cannot be transferred.

Does the app that’s currently on the store use an app group?

  • thanks for your response.

    yesterday, we tried to release a new version app on App Store which deleted app group. still doesn't work.

    so sad 😭

I don't really understand why the check must be so strict to also check at the previous versions. It would seem like it would be sufficient for whatever purpose this is for that if the most recent version does not have app group entitlements the transfer would be allowed.

I saw the same thing that even with a new release that deletes the app grouping the transfer is not allowed.

Has there been any update on this? Have you figured out a way ?

Would really like this to be changed to let apps be transferred. I only ever used groups in the iOS version, but I used the same entitlements and provisioning for both.
