Acquisitions
In addition to selling your apps to customers on the App Store, you can also sell the rights to your app to another company, or sell your entire company. Here’s a list of iOS related acquisitions that I’m aware of. If you have additional information about any of these transactions, or know of other transactions that I’ve missed, please let me know in a comment below.
