Overview
Your mobile app will be under Appfront's Developer account by default.
This is the easiest, fastest and the way for you to avoid any management time and resources. As long it is under Appfront account, we take full responsibility to make sure you are certified and save you the headache of approving terms-of-service, and other procedure required by the Apple and Google PLAY stores.
IMPORTANT: when its under your account, you will have to take this responsibility
In order to put your apps under your accounts and company name in Google Play and AppStore, under Apps, please take the following steps:

How to Transfer My Mobile App?
Moving to Appfront from another provider?
First Step: Claim your App Name
Did you have another app provider before Appfront? Your brand name is probably already in use, so in order to upload an app under your brand name, we will need you to contact Apple and claim your name rights.
Step Two: Reach out to your previous provider
First step, you should ask your previous app provider a request to remove the app from the stores. If that doesn't work or if you don't have an app provider, please follow the procedure outlined in the next section.
Step Three: Reach out to Apple
Contact apple using this link.
You can add Appfront's team to the process:
Appfront team ID - 1914674
CC (support@appfront.ai)
Let Apple know that you are the owner of your brand and that since someone is using this name right now, we can't upload your app. It should take a few days, after which you will receive a confirmation from Apple. Don't forget to forward our team the confirmation once you get it!
