I have a question regarding app submission.
Situation: We have an iPhone Developer account and our customer has an iTunes Connect account. Is it possible that we hand them the signed, zipped application (that is signed with a provisioning profile from OUR account) and they upload it on their account?
Or is it REQUIRED that they give us acces with the "technician" role?
From my first impression, i think it should be possible that both accounts are not in any way connected, but i am not sure.
Any help is appreciated. If it is possible, please post references, Thanks =)
I think the short answer to the question in the title is "No".
See the iTunesConnect > FAQs > Manage your applications
I sold my app to another developer and
can no longer distribute on the App
Store. Can I transfer the app to the
new developer's iTunes Connect
account? At this time, applications
cannot be transferred to another
developer account. If you would like
the application to be sold through
another developer account, you will
need to remove the app from sale in
the current iTunes Connect account and
upload the app under the new iTunes
Connect account.
Not exactly your question, but sounds similar enough.
We had a need to resign a 3rd party developer supplied app with our signing keys - which sounds similar to what you want to do:
1) Use Xcode's Build > Build and Archive feature to create the version of the app to had off to your customer.
2) Select that build in the Archived Applications source in the Organizer
3) Choose Reveal Archived Application in Finder from the contextual menu
4) Select and compress the enclosing folder
5) Send that zip archive to your customer.
Your customer would then unzip and expand that archive in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Archived Applications. That will make it available in the Xcode Organizer. Your customer can then use the Share Application… and/or Submit to iTunes Connect… buttons to re-sign and distribute the app using your customer's distribution provisioning profile.
EDIT: A follow up that may not be clear from the info above.
To be able to do this, the 3rd party developer needs to build the app with your development profile; e.g. they need to be a "Team Member" of your account. They can do nothing more than build the app and sign it with development keys. Then they can deliver a build that has been compiled with your development keys at which point you can re-sign this with your distribution keys and submit.
If you need to, you can remove them and revoke their information from the iOS Provisioning Portal after successful app deployment.
EDIT2: With the Xcode 4 .xarchive bundles, you can just copy the .xarchive bundle into ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/[date]/ folder. Then it will show up in the Organizer under the Archives section - validate, share and submit from there.

I don’t have access to apple developer account.
but I have the p12 distribution and mobile provisional certificates from the client.
When I try to create ios app with expo cli without login:
It ask me the password for the certificate. There’s no password set
on the certificate how can I give a blank input?
Then it ask for apple team ID (from where can I get it?)
I also want to know what else are required to build app without login.
There’s no documentation or resources available on the expo site for it.
As far as i know , getting build versions for ios apps without apple developer account is not possible.

When I try to publish my app on the Gsuite Marketplace via GCP, I find no way to change the setting 'Visibility'. Event if the app has never been published.
Between the two options (My Domain - Public), My domain is selected and can't be switched to Public, so nobody has access to my app.
Any help?
I've tried to contact the support and find help on forums but no answer at all.
First step, I'd recommend reviewing Choosing where to publish to ensure that you've published to the correct location. As noted under Publish your app (before you publish), your app is reviewed to determine if it meets the requirements for the relevant store. Additionally, your application may also have to undergo OAuth verification (I think this could be the problem) , and security assessment if it accesses user data, such as Gmail, Drive, Contacts, or Calendar
If your app is exempt from verification or if you've already undergone assessment and been approved, and your issue persists, I'd recommend contacting Marketplace Developer Support, via the below steps, who can assist you with your publishing issue.
Navigate to the new Developer Dashboard.
Click Contact Us.
The Developer Support contact us form is displayed.

How did you contact Google Support? They have many teams and sometimes agents are not aware of the scope of support. Personally I would contact GCP Support first to verify your App in GCP, once they confirm everything is working from their end they need to route the case to GSuite with an Admin Console specialist to debug the problem
I have a Xamarin.iOS app and I'm trying to upload it to TestFlight. So, I am trying to add create an iTunes Connect record. When I log into iTunes Connect, I am being displayed the following page.
When I click on Apps, the following page is displayed, even though I am registered for a Apple Developer program and signed in to that account.
So I cannot proceed with the steps in the following link and cannot add a iTunes Connect record.
Could you please tell me why I am not being redirected to the correct page to continue with the process?
Since you don't have subscribed it should go to enrolment instead of different account that you are part of it. Make sure about under which team you are trying to clicks on the Myapps. If its your's definitely you won't be able to get in to MyApps until you enrol for itunesconnect.
Please check with your company's account that you have been invited for itunesconnect as well.
You can access iTunesConnect once you accepted your company's invitation. After accepted that you shall login with itunesconnect and change your team to your company account then go for myApps page. Cheers!
Have a question regaring GCM and the google-services.json file creation. When you go to the website trying to create this file, you need to crete or specify a project. I can't find anywhere if this project must be created from the Google account used to publish the application in Google Play or any Google account would do.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Updatate:
All accounts used are developer accounts. Just want to understand if it is a requirement to use the same Google account for the app in Google Play.
If you have already added the project to your google publication list then it should be in the pull down list. if not then you need to create it from the dash board here
you will need to have a paid developer account to do this. Which ever account you are logged in as needs to have the project in the dash board otherwise you wont get access to it
I have developed an iOS app for my corporation. We distribute it via AirWatch. Some of the certs are going to expire soon and it is SO confusing to try to figure out what to do. I have googled and it seems every page has different information. I would really love it if someone could point me in the correct direction.
I have an "iOS Development" cert with my name on it. It appears that I cannot renew it, only revoke or download. Some pages said if I download it again it gets updated, some say I need to create a new cert. Which one is it, and do I do this in Xcode or on the portal?
I have an "APNs Production iOS" cert with my company's id on it(the reverse dns thing, like "com.apple.mobile". It is also due soon. How do I renew, and where do I renew it, in Xcode or the portal.
We do not use Apple Push Notifications in the app, but I am under the impression that you still need this as it is the way Apple securely identifies your app. Is this true?
I have a "iOS Provisioning Profile" that will also expire. Same questions. Can I just edit it to renew it? Do I do this in Xcode or Portal.
Thank in advance.
Yes, you will need to renew your profiles (all that you are using for development or distribution. Then, you will need to re-build any apps that were built with the old profiles. Otherwise, no one will be able to install the app that was build with the expired profile. Basically, any apps built and distributed with an enterprise distribution profile will need to be re-built at least once a year.
Edit: more details on how to generate a new certificate.
Just go the the ios developer portal, and go to the area on the right for Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles on the right. Go to the Certificates area, and click the + icon to generate a new certificate. Follow the instructions there for generating the new cert. Once you have your new cert, go to the profiles section, and you will need to re-generate your profiles with the new cert. For each profile, click the edit button, change the certificate dropdown to your new certificate, and then click the Generate button. Download the new profile, and use it to re-build your apps.
