Is there any way to change Developer name in App Store if I have an individual (not company) account? Right now there is my name, and I'd like to change it to our dev studio name. We have a company but it was much faster and easier to register for individual developer and right now it could be a problem.

    There's no easy way to do it. You need to submit the request to Apple and provide some company documents. The process can take some time and in this period your iTunes Connect account will become inaccessible.

    Ok, but I should cancel my app on old account and re-submit it on a new account? And what will happen with installed apps and ads when the app will be removed and waiting for re-submition? :)

    Maybe you have that vinculed to one account, but you have to ask that to apple, i think is the only can solved your answers.

    If you call Apple they can transfer over you're account to a corporate one. You need to provide them with you're company paperwork and other info. You need to be an LLC, S-corp or some other form of legal company.

    Yes they we're able to do it for us over the phone and we faxed all the paperwork to them and it took a few days to switch it over.
