I have a very embarrassing problem. that I can't transfer my macOS app to another account. and above is wrong picture.
I already tried to delete the apps group. but it doesn't work.
this transfer is very important for our team. if anyone can tell me how to do, I will be very grateful.
and above is wrong picture.
What do you mean by that?

ah.. screenshot of reply error content
So App Store Connect Help is pretty clear about this:
Sandboxed Mac apps that share the Application Group Container Directory with other Mac apps cannot be transferred.
Does the app that’s currently on the store use an app group?

I don't really understand why the check must be so strict to also check at the previous versions. It would seem like it would be sufficient for whatever purpose this is for that if the most recent version does not have app group entitlements the transfer would be allowed.
I saw the same thing that even with a new release that deletes the app grouping the transfer is not allowed.
Has there been any update on this? Have you figured out a way ?
Would really like this to be changed to let apps be transferred. I only ever used groups in the iOS version, but I used the same entitlements and provisioning for both.
We have an app that is published both on iOS and macOS (Catalyst).
The iOS app is sharing group containers between app extension and main app target, but it's not sandboxed.
The macOS Catalyst app is sandboxed but the group containers were removed a week ago with the latest AppStore submission.
We are facing the same issue and still seeing this error message "You can only transfer sandboxed apps that are not sharing a group container." when transferring the app.
Can anyone from Apple give a bit more details what can we do to fix that?
You can't even take down a macOS (Catalyst) app alone and then transfer an iOS app. I don't know how many years it will take before Apple can lift this restriction.
I too am hitting this problem, and it is very frustrating. Removing the support for app groups and shipping a new version should be sufficient.
I have the same problem. It seems like there is no solution. That's really bad.
