Is there a way for two users to make development builds on separate accounts for one app?

Tech stack: React Native + Expo. We are using two solo developer accounts (not a business or team account).

Context: Friend and I set out to make an app together. Friend created app and set it up on Apple.

We worked on it together. He controlled devops (builds and submission).

Friend no longer can commit to development.

Wants to transfer to me. I create apple developer account.

After app transfer, my phone (deviceid) underwent a 14 day soft ban preventing builds. That has since been lifted.

There seems to be something in place preventing me from making dev builds on the original dev bundleid. It says it's still owned by him despite the app transfer.

Bottom line: what needs to happen so 1 can make dev builds?

nice to have: is there a way for us to both make dev builds under the same bundleid?

Try this:

  1. Using Xcode, create a new project from one of the iOS > App template.
  2. During the creation process, select your team, that is, the team that the app was transferred to.
  3. And enter the bundled ID of that transferred app.
  4. Build that for the device (so not the simulator).

Does that work?
