Separate account ownership from app transfer
Changing the authorized owner/admin of a developer account is different from moving an app to another developer account.
Inventory dependencies
List users, permissions, payments profiles, verification contacts, recovery methods and critical connected services before changing ownership.
Expect security controls
Sensitive changes can involve waiting periods or additional verification. Plan business deadlines around those controls.
Use least privilege
Remove obsolete users and give each team member only the permissions needed for their role.
Document the handover
Keep an internal record of who is authorized to manage the developer account and how recovery/access responsibilities are maintained.
Official sources
Policies and platform requirements can change. Check the linked official documentation for the latest wording before acting on a time-sensitive case.
Need case-specific help?
If your situation includes a specific warning, rejection or account state, send the exact notice rather than applying generic steps blindly.
