One app, two different Apple Dev accounts ... Will it work?

Building a standalone/single-issue viewer app for a client. We've asked to be invited to join their Apple Dev team, but the client proposes this workflow instead:
Scenario 1
• We use OUR iOS Provisioning Portal/Apple Dev account to generate all the certificates, provisioning profiles and the app ID needed to bake out the app.
• We deliver the final binary (.zip file) to the client.
• Client uses ITS iTunes Connect/Apple Dev account to deliver the binary to Apple, so that the client will be the publisher of record in iTunes.
WOULD THIS EVEN WORK? Can you really create an app using one Apple Dev account, then publish/manage it w/ iTunes Connect using another Apple Dev account?
We've also heard this scenario:
Scenario 2
• Using our Apple Dev account, we generate: Development Certificate (.p12) and Development Provisioning Profile 
• Using, their Apple Dev account, the client generates: Distribution Certificate (.p12) and Distribution Provisioning Profile
THEN …
1.) … WHO generates the App ID, considering that our dev and their dist provisioning profiles need to be tethered to the same App ID?
2.) If it's the client, how do we tether OUR dev provisioning profile to THEIR App ID?
Big thanks in advance.

My only experience with publishing is to create both the dev and distribution apps, so I haven't tested that workflow yet. But I've heard of publishers who need to do what you're proposing. As I understand it, you would basically create the required cert files from two different Apple accounts. With your Apple account, you would create a dummy App ID (such as com.publisher.publication.test), and create the dev .p12 cert, the dev mobileprovision file, and the dev push cert. Your client would create the real App ID (such as com.publisher.publication) along with the distribution .p12 cert, dist mobileprovision, and dist push cert. Once you get these certs, you use Viewer Builder to create the app using the cert files from the combined Apple accounts. You would publish and test the development ipa file. If it all works properly, your client would sign in to Viewer Builder, download the distribution .zip file and submit it to Apple.
As I said, I haven't tested this workflow yet, but we're currently setting up a similar split environment.

  • Have two i phones owned by one person.  Gave older I phone 4 to spouse.  All synced items going to both phones.  Created two different Apple ID Accounts but still having problems.  Bought more icloud for one device but it went to the other one didnt need

    How can i seperate to i phones that have been synced together.  I created two different Apple Id accounts but for instance my icloud purchase didnt go to the phone i needed it to go to

    If you look at Settings > iCloud on each phone, is the Account different? The Apple ID listed there should control iCloud storage allocation.  [I assume your "icloud purchase" was more storage capacity.]
    The Apple ID is separately specified to control iMessage, iTunes and App Store purchases, etc.

  • Two different apple id accounts?

    Hi, when i download an app off the app store it asks for my usual apple id password. But when i try to update an app it asks for the password of a completely different apple id account to which i can't even remember making. How do i make them all correspond to the same account? Thanks

    You can't. iTunes and App store purchases are tied to the AppleID used to make them and cannot be transferred, nor can accounts be "merged". The easiest solution is to redownload or repurchases the apps in question.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. 

  • Still can't figure out how to share apps with two different itunes accounts, two different apple ids (homesharing for music works fine) this is between my wifes iphone 4s and my ipad 3 4g anyone help ?

    My wife has an iphone 4s. I have an ipad 3 4g. Homesharing between the pc, the ipad and the iphone is fine, but only for music. Many forums say that apps can be shared between devices but HOW ???? I can't find a solution anywhere. My wife and I have separate apple ids, separate icloud accounts and separate itunes details....
    Anyone help ?

    Select the name of the shared library in the source pane of your itunes, and click on the wee disclosure triangle to the left of the name of the library. Does "Apps" appear beneath the name of the library?
    Here's a screenshot of what I mean. (Unfortunately, it's not showing "Apps" because there aren't any in that library. But fingers crossed it should give you an idea of what you're looking for.)

  • How may I un-merge contacts between two different Apple ID accounts?

    This evening I was trying to see if my daughters information for the App Store could be viewed on my iPhone 5.  I deleted my Apple ID and logged into my daughters Apple ID on my phone.  I inadvertently merged our contact lists in the activation process.  Could some please give me instruction on how to un-merge the two contact lists?  I would like to get this done with least amount of headache and time.  I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.3 and my daughter has an iPod Touch (gen 4) running iOS 7.0.3.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't easily unmerge them. make sure you have reset your accounts so that you are both logged into the accounts you should be (your own) and then manually delete the contacts you don't want.

  • HT204161 email associated with two different Apple IDs keeps me from logging in

    It seems I have two different apple id accounts both associated with the same recovery email address. As I enter to “Manage My Apple ID” it tells me I need to verify my email address.
    Specifically, it says “A verification email was previously sent to [email protected] We can resend the verification email to the same address, or if this address is incorrect you can change your Apple ID and email address.”
    I hit the “Send Verification Email” button, but it tells me
    “Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.” and I’m stuck, because I’m not sure what that other Apple ID that is associated with that email address is.  Can anyone help me out?

    I've tried everything..unplugging and re-setting the Apple TV, restoring to factory settings and starting over...nothing seems to work. I'm not sure why the software upgrade would have affected it, but that's what triggered this problem. It doesn't seem right that if it's accessible on my computer and it's all music purchased by me, that it's not all accessible on my Apple TV!

  • Can i have two different face time accounts on one apple id

    Would like to have two different face time accounts, one on mac book pro and one on ipad.  Can I have two different face time accounts on one apple id?

    You simply need to have a separate e-mail identifier for each.  One e-mail address would be associated with the mac book, the other separate and distinctive e-mail address would be associated with the i pad.  This is done under one single apple id.  Essentialy, the e-mail addresses are the FaceTime calling numbers for each.

  • Is it possible to transfer an apple dev account from one apple id to a different apple id?

    I am 15 years old and I am thinking about setting up a apple dev account, but I can't do it on my apple ID since you have to be above the legal age of majority. So what I am wondering is that when I become the age of majority is it possible to transfer the apple dev account from my parents apple id to mine?

  • How to transfer app data between two different game center accounts?

    Hello, I really need some help.
    I have looked all over the web for ways to transfer apps between two different game center accounts and different devices. Several weeks ago I started playing Campus Life on my relative's Ipad 2, therefore spending many long hours to get to this point in the game.
    The problem is I just got an Iphone 5 and I really would like to transfer the data onto it, so that I would not need to start all over again.
    My grandma has an account (Game Center) onto which the data has been saved and I would like to have it stored onto mine. On some forum someone said to sign into the account which has the data on both devices and to then open up the game on the new device. It worked. Then I signed out and logged in with my own account- the game started from scratch. I panicked. I went back on the other account, and the data reappeared. I have been going back and forth, the game changing as many times. I thought it would ask to back up my grandma's data on mine but I was wrong. I can not seem to save the game onto my new account, and I have even tried to back it up to Itunes and then copy it onto my phone after having signed into my own account. And I don't know how to properly use Icloud. I am a mess. I am completely lost and have found no help on the web. (All people seem to have to deal with is sharing Apple IDs with different Game Center Accounts for the kids and transferring apps from one of their devices to another.)
    I am so worried I am going to mess up and will lose the whole thing completely.
    I have just started another game with my own account but since I am using my grandma's, the data is erased. It's one or the other but I definitely prefer saving Campus Life. I do not like the idea of having to only pick one.
    I do not know any technical terms, so if you understand or even have the slightest clue about what I am talking about, I applaud you.
    This seems like mission impossible, so if anyone can help in any way, I would be really grateful. 
    Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts!

    I meant to press on "This solved my question"... Sorry if you needed the points.
    Thank-you and I will just go back and forth between the accounts.

  • My wife and I decided to both buy Iphones do I put them both under the same apple ID, or do I create two different apple ID's and two differnt icloud accounts?

    My wife and I decided to both buy Iphones do I put them both under the same apple ID, or do I create two different apple ID's and two differnt icloud accounts? We want to be able to share my itunes library on both our phones and sync our calendars, but I don't want every update and reminder that my wife puts in her phone and I know she doesn't want every reminder I put in my phone.

    What you need to do is both use the same Apple ID for iTunes content, but separate Apple ID's for everything else. So, you keep your existing Apple ID. If not a verifiable email address, you will need to create a new Apple ID for yourself. You also create an Apple ID for your wife, again a verifiable email address. You use the existing Apple ID for all iTunes content. The new Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc. Here's how to create an Apple ID:

    How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

    Morning Saintine,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.
