Hi Developer Community,
I recently published an app in the store. The app was created with a provider. However, I don't like the provider. But I don't want to lose the published app in the Stores.
But now my question would be:
Can I develope my own „new project“ and publish it as a 1.2 version? And terminate the provider. Or is that not possible? I don't want to resubmit my new app and I don't want to lose my ratings ...
Thanks for the help!! Best, Joshua

It depends on how the app is published on the App Store, if it is published with the Apple ID of the provider, the author of the app is the provider (from Apple's point of view). Unless the provider gives the ownership of the app in the way Apple defines to you, there's no way you can touch it.
In case it is you who published the app using your own Apple ID, no problem. (Assuming you have not told the credentials of your Apple ID to anyone else.) Create an updated app with your own new project, better hold the same bundle ID, and submit it as the new version of your app.
