a0.dev · Move in steps
You can keep prompting and checking devices via the a0 app or Expo Go while someone else owns Deployment. Relocate runtime upgrades, OTA, store credentials, and Convex/Supabase secrets onto org accounts and a build path you can name in a vendor review. Mobile spikes stay in a0; production stops depending on a0 workspace ACLs.

Company-level evidence
Review methodologyIn plain words
Transition means prompting stays useful for sandbox projects while Deployment, OTA, and backend secrets leave the a0 seat. Both tracks can run briefly. A release builds and ships without a0 admin or Generate & Submit on the original project. Undo each ownership move before you start the next.
Why moving in steps gets its own page
Migrate and get-off assume you are ready to cut. Many teams still need a0 prompting while one ownership piece moves.
Feels efficient until all three break together. Take one step, prove it, then choose the next.
If you cannot put that step back on a0 Generate & Submit in a known time, you are gambling — not transitioning.
Two writers, no reconcile rule. That is how last week’s “fixed” bug returns.
If the founder is the only admin, ownership is the first step — even while prompts still help on sandboxes.
The order we move things in
Owned Expo hardens first. a0 stays writable for experiments; it loses authority to change what customers run.
01
Sandbox prompts okay; live App Store Connect submits and production OTA need the owned path.
02
Both can answer for that step.
03
Prove undo. Then retire a0 Deployment for that step.
04
No silent dual edits on the same production screen.
How to
Move in steps while prompts stay live. Undo each step. Keep installs safe.
Step 01
Store credentials, OTA, or backend secrets — not all three.
Step 02
Both can answer for that step.
Step 03
Known time to put that step back on a0 Generate & Submit.
Step 04
Watch. Support knows both tracks.
Step 05
Finish one move before you start another.

Prompt iteration, web preview checks, View on your Phone via a0 app / Expo Go, and sandbox native-build testing can continue. Treat the a0 project as a workshop that feeds the owned Expo tree — not as the place you keep production secrets or the only place you can deploy from.
Org Apple Developer / Play admins and platform owners — not whoever opened a0 Deployment last. Production Convex/Supabase projects move under org billing with rotation rights limited to on-call. Bundle IDs, Team IDs, and deep-link schemes follow the same rule. Prompt authors get scrubbed non-prod secrets.
Freeze only production-affecting paths: Generate & Submit to live App Store Connect, production OTA pushes, and production Convex/Supabase rotates. Allow prompts on sandbox projects or staging Bundle IDs. Route hotfixes through the owned Expo/EAS path. a0 remains writable for experiments; it loses authority to change what customers run.
A teammate with org store and Expo access and no a0 admin can ship a fix end-to-end. Incident docs name EAS/CI and org App Store Connect — not “open a0 Deployment.” Web preview is marked non-prod. Runtime upgrades happen in owned Build Settings — not only when a0’s upgrade prompt appears.
Bring which submits still only happen in a0, who holds App Store Connect, and how you would undo the first ownership move. We move one part first, then talk about a full exit.
