We have developed an application for a company who want to release it under their own account. It has been developed on our account and has had provisioning profiles attached to it from our own account. What is the best way to do this? Do I have to send them the xCode project and talk them through how to attack a provisioning profile to the project? Or can I just get their login details and create a provisioning profile from the Mac in the office and do it for them? Or is there a "transfer to different account" option?
Many thanks!
To answer your last question: Apps cannot be easily transferred to another account (when already available at the App Store).
But both of the other suggestions would work: An app is not tied to an account until you submit it via iTunesConnect. So you can just use provisioning profiles from another account to build the app for submission. Of course, you can do that in your office, using the credentials of the customer, or you can just hand over the project and let the customer do the submission.

I am trying to submit an iOS app through iTunes Connect.
However, when I try to validate the app it gives me an error saying : "This app contains an embedded provisioning profile that is not associated with your account. Please use a provisioning profile associated with the Team ID.
Is this because I am using different accounts for creating the provisioning profiles and for iTunes connect ?
I'm guessing you have submitted your app before signed with a developer certificate from one account and now your trying to do it from another.

Edit
I do think that using different accounts for creating the provisioning profiles and for iTunes connect will cause the issue. So just switch the provisioning files from the prov. acct for the itunes connect account. Provisioning files are easy to make, and Apple has a tutorial on what to do when you try to create one.
This app contains an embedded provisioning profile that is not associated with your account. Please use a provisioning profile associated with team ID : I am getting this error while I upload the build with Application loader.
I am using two different accounts.
1) For creating provisioning profile
2) For uploading in iTunes.
Everything had worked fine till date. I have updated my app several times in app store. I am using the same procedure but facing this issue.
What might be the reason? Its an emergency Please help me on this.
Apple does not allow anymore submission of an app on a developer account if this app have been signed using a different developer account certificate (different team ID).
You have no other choice than sign you app with the developer account certificate where you want the submission to be done. If the Bundle ID is already taken on the other/previous developer account, you will have to sign your app using a wildcar mobile provision.
If you need push notif or Game Center or anything that need to avoid a wildcar AppStore mobile provision, then you are in trouble => setup a brand new app (new app ID / Bundle ID) and plan migration of your customers from the old app to the new one ...

I Think i have cracked this issue, But dont know if there is still a better solution.
As i used a different accounts for creating provisioning profile and submitting it in iTunes, because of which i got this error.
Solution: We have to use the same account for creating the provisioning profile and also submitting it in iTunes. As a trial i did the same, it just worked fine.
I have finally updated my app to app-store successfully!
Reason:
Actually we had an corporate account and an individual developer account. Before we use to update using the individual account, Since the Apple Licence agreement changed some time back.
We cannot upload or update your app with the individual account if it is connected with the corporate account.
Soln:
Need to add or link the individual account to corporate account.
I have created an iTunes test User account from My Developer account.
My client has set up (on a different developer account) an application and in-app-purchase product.
Will I be able to use my test user to purchase the product the client has set up?
The answer is no - you can not.
Test users are restricted to buying content in the sandbox for Products on the Developer account they were created on.
I managed to get a friend to help me test this and got this error when I used his test user.
I am currently about to start work on an iOS app for somebody but they have there own Apple Developer account which they would like to us. How do I go about setting my MAC up so that I can use their account to build, develop and test their app on my Devices?
I am assuming that I will need to create a separate user account on my MAC. I have done this but when I try to install the certificates that they have created I get errors such as "Valid signing identity not found".
Why could Apple not make this process simple, I am always having to refer back to the documentation and still get confused just to start creating a new app!
You do not have to create a new user account on your Mac for this, but I know some developers prefer to have separate accounts when they are working with more than one developer account, for ease of development & distribution provisioning profiles.
If your client adds you (by Apple ID --> email address) as a team member to their account (assuming their account belongs to a company and not an individual) then you can start the development process by requesting and later receiving a signed development certificate. You'll then also need the required provisioning profile(s) to develop/distribute builds of the app.
No, you won't need to create separate account. Xcode provide the facility to use several provisioning profile and certificate at the same time.
For more information check this thread - Multiple Certificates/Provisioning Profiles in one Xcode organizer?
First of all you don't need to create new account on your Mac to develop iOS application. In Xcode 4 it become very easy to start developing and signing application. All you need to do is go to Organizer (most right button on Xcode toolbar). In Provisioning Profiles section you can see Refresh button on the botoom of the screen. When you click it ask you about your developer account information such as account name and password. Then it tries to install all profiles and certificates to your Mac automatically. Then you could select your profile and sign your app. If automatically install fails, check yourself that you download all you need for this.
Create keys on your mac and submit to Apple.
Download your certificate and WWDR certificate. Two!!!!
Add your device to the devices section and create Development certificate (Distribution as well ). Download it manually or via refresh in Xcode Organizer.
Hope it helps. Sergey!
Once you have your Apple Developer Account Credentials, You can follow gist I have created:
Apple's Code Signing Process
I have an app which is available in app store and was signed with a certificate made from an account A. Now can I submit an update of the same app this time signing it with a different certificate created using another developer account say B?
Thanks in advance,
Tony
I think yes, but may be both developer account should be under same iPhone Developer Program Membership. Can you see the same application at http://itunesconnect.apple.com/ using another developer account?
