  They're also offering a free upgrade to the paid version for the first week, but you need to get it this week. From the blogpost on reddit "Current Pro users, please make sure to get the new Pro upgrade now (free for one week). Unfortunately, due to the limits of the app transfer system, we have no other way to verify, credit, or transfer your old Pro account."

  They do.

  One of the reddit admins said that it would have been prohibitively difficult because of something relating to ownership rights: https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/2jd7wa/the_alien_has_landed/clamav4?context=1 https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/2jd7wa/the_alien_has_...

    There are a couple things that could prevent it. Did Alien Blue maybe use In-App Purchase subscriptions for Pro? https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/TransferringAndDeletingApps.html https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Langua...

      It did, yes.

        Subscriptions? Surely not. It wouldn't make any sense to use an IAP Subscription for that. Surely it's just a normal non-consumable IAP.
        • KnightHawk3 12y ago
          It was just a normal IAP. (I bought it)
• eridius 12y ago
  They do. I'm very confused as to why Reddit didn't just go through that process to transfer the app. It would have saved a lot of people a lot of trouble.

    I'm a hobby iOS developer, could you provide a link explaining how you can do this? I seem to remember reading something about Apple enabling this at one time, but I don't remember the reference now.
    • eridius 12y ago
      I've never had to do it, but I know Apple has an official process for transferring apps, and I believe they've even made it easier to do these days than it used to be. Had I the need to do it, I'd probably go looking through the iTunes Connect documentation.

        Doesn't apply to iCloud/IAP
        • coob 12y ago
          IAP transfers fine - iCloud may be another matter.
    • megablast 12y ago
      Did it about 5 years ago, just had to contact apple, they contacted the developer, Boom! It was all done.
    • unepipe 12y ago
      there's a link that says "Transfer App".
