We need clarification on the following scenario and whether the requested actions are possible.
Currently, we have an Enterprise iOS application that is distributed internally through Microsoft Intune using an Enterprise Apple Developer account.
We are now planning to release the same application publicly via the Apple App Store using an App Store (public) Apple Developer account.
While attempting to create a new app in App Store Connect, we are unable to proceed because the Bundle Identifier is already registered under the Enterprise account, and Apple does not allow creating another app with the same identifier.
We would like clarification on the following points:
- Is it possible to move or transfer an app (or its Bundle Identifier) from an Enterprise Apple Developer account to a Public/App Store Apple Developer account?
- If yes, what is the recommended process to do so?
- If not, what alternatives are available while retaining the same Bundle Identifier?
2. If the app is successfully published on the App Store using the same Bundle Identifier, what will happen to users who already have the Enterprise version installed via Intune?
- Will their existing app automatically update from the App Store?
- Or will they need to uninstall the Enterprise version and install the App Store version manually?
We would appreciate your guidance on the supported approach and best practices for this transition to ensure a smooth migration for existing users.
