Hi everyone,
We have an iOS app that is currently live on the App Store under Company 1's Apple Developer account, and we are planning to transfer it to Company 2's Apple Developer account using Apple's App Transfer process.
Our current push notification setup is as follows:
Push notifications are sent using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).
Firebase is configured with an APNs Authentication Key (.p8) generated from Company 1's Apple Developer account.
The app uses the same Bundle ID before and after the transfer.
We would like to understand the expected behavior after the app transfer.
Our questions are:
Will users who already have the app installed continue to receive push notifications after the app has been transferred?
Once the app is owned by Company 2, will the APNs Authentication Key from Company 1 continue to work, or must it be replaced immediately with a new key generated from Company 2's Apple Developer account?
Is there any supported way to configure APNs so that both the old and new APNs Authentication Keys can be used during the migration period, allowing push
notifications to be delivered seamlessly to all users?
3)If simultaneous APNs keys are not supported, what is the recommended migration strategy to avoid any interruption in push notification delivery during the transfer?
Our goal is to ensure that existing users continue receiving push notifications without disruption while we complete the App Store transfer.
Any guidance or best practices from Apple or developers who have gone through a similar migration would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
