I have to transfer an iOS application to another account. Now I have done this before, but I am not sure what happens to the app analytics (App units In-app Purchases, Sales e.g.) after transferring the application. Will it all remain, or will the user of the new account only be able to see statistics from the day it is transferred. I would think it will all remain, but because there are Sales statistics involved I cannot tell for sure.

Someone has had experience with this, and knows exactly what will happen regarding the App Analytics shown in iTunesconnect?

In short, is any data lost when transferring an app to another account?

Just to be safe regardless, I would ask the original owner to download the existing sales info _before_ they initiate the transfer, and to then make that information available to you as part of the deal.

From the docs:

-=-

Transferring an App

You’ll need the team agent for the receiving organization to provide the team agent’s Apple ID and Team ID. Recipients can find their Team ID in their account at developer.apple.com.

The team agent is the only one who can transfer an app.

To initiate an app transfer

Make a record of app information you want to have after the transfer.Because you won’t be able to view the app information after the transfer, make a catalog report (see Requesting Catalog Reports), note dates the app was available on the store (see Viewing Status History), and save sales and download information (see Viewing Sales and Trends).
