Hi All,
Is it possible to develop a B4i App (using my own certificate) and let another developer account (for ex. company Acme) to publish the ipa file on the App Store using the Acme company certificate ?

I mean.
Can I give the release ipa file (Tools - Build Server - Build Release App / Tools - Build Server - Download last build) to the company and they publish it using their certificates (and dev. account) on the app store ?

if you compile the release versions with their certificate it should work I guess.

If the company don't want to give me their certificate (and the password) ?
For @Erel : They don't have a B4i license.

The only alternative solution is to create a new Apple developer account for the company ?

The IPA is already signed. Technically it is possible to re-sign it but it is not so simple, especially with a store IPA that you cannot directly test.

You can also send them the generated Xcode project and let them sign it. However they will need a B4i license to compile it.

Thanks @Erel and @sorex for your replies.

can't you create the dev account for them and send them an invoice each year?

and do the rest yourself (create certificase/profiles/compiling/publishing)

then it's all seperated to the public

@sorex thanks for this additional suggestion. I do this with my direct customers but in this case I have a different scenario:

1) The company (isn't my direct customer)
2) The company need to publish this app for 1 month only (for a campaign)

So I don't think that this company want pay 99$ / Year for a new additional Apple Store account to publish a "temporary" App.
The company should choose which option...

Hi,

just another idea: you can also transfer your App (signed with your certificates) in iTunes Connect to the account of the company. The origin of certificate is not important in this case.
