This guys (that I don’t know) made an app and my friend asked if he could transfer to look at his work and see how he set up his workflow. I want to get into bubble and do the same thing so I asked my friend if he could make a copy and transfer it to me and he has tried to on multiple occasions but it never transfers to my account.

Are you not able to transfer an app that you didn’t create or something?

To double check, make sure you’re entering the _exact_ email address of the Bubble account to be transferred to. It doesn’t accept random, no-Bubble affiliated emails. As well, make sure there’s not an unintended spaces around the email.

A few helpful points in this thread.

> Is it currently possible to transfer ownership of a Bubble app from one Bubble account to another Bubble account? Example scenario 1: I build a Bubble app for a client under my Bubble account and then want to transfer the app to the client’s Bubble account when the project is completed. Example scenario 2: A side project Bubble app starts getting some traction and so I decide I’d like to move the app to its own separate Bubble account for billing / administrative purposes.

Is the app you are trying to copy over a Template by chance?
