App transfer between accounts

In order to transfer an app between AppsFlyer accounts, both the sending and receiving app owners (as represented by their AppsFlyer account admins) must complete the necessary transfer prerequisites and agree to the transfer.

App transfer process

The following is an overview of the app transfer process:

  • The sender requests that AppsFlyer transfer the selected apps and enters the receiver admin's email address.
  • The receiver is notified and agrees to receive the apps. 
  • Both sender and receiver admins receive notice of the pending transfer (both by email and on the My apps page). 
    • While the transfer is pending, either admin can delete the app transfer request (cancel the transfer). 
  • After verifying that the sides have completed the transfer prerequisites, AppsFlyer transfers the apps.
    • If a prerequisite is incomplete, AppsFlyer contacts the relevant party to ensure completion.
    • Incomplete prerequisites usually relate to pending financial, commercial, or legal matters; or to the requested transfer of apps comprising more than 30% of an account's traffic over the last 90 days.

App transfer scope

The following table details which app features and settings are transferred. Note that the sender can, at its discretion, delete certain settings and configuration information before the transfer.
