I want to transfer my iOS app from one apple store account to other. For both accounts I have team agent role and I have logged in with same access details.

At documentation, I found this article and I want to follow similar steps from my side - Transferring and Deleting Apps

But at above reference link, I found this option/link - Transfer App: enter image description here

When I actually logged into my account, I can't able to find this kind of option to move app from one account to another. Here is screenshot for my account:

So actually where is the app transfer option?

Discussion with Apple Developer support for App transfer related queries, which may help some one

1. Is App transfer between one developer account to another possible ?
Ans: Yes

2. Can you transfer an App that is live on App Store which is published from a Apple Developer Account can be transferred to an Apple Enterprise Account ?
Ans: No

3. After creating new developer account can I transfer the App quickly ?
Ans: After initiating a transfer from sending account the receiving account need to accept the App transfer request, and after accepting the request it will take 1 or 2 days for the transfer to complete. During this transfer process the will not be available in appStore.

4. How many days will it take to create a new Developer account?
Ans: It is not same all the time, but usually takes 2 to 3 days.

5. Post expiry of the developer account can I transfer the App to a new developer account?
Ans: No post expiry of your developer account you can’t initiate the transfer, and if you need to transfer you need to call the Apple Customer support and then we will do it.

6. Can I use the same App name after the account to which it belongs expires?
Ans: You can use the same name only if you transfer that App from the old developer account to new developer account. As every App name is unique in AppStore. And there is also app data maintained for each single App, even if you delete an App from the App Store, Apple will store and maintain the app data, So you can’t create a App with the same name even if you delete the App as Apple will maintain the app data related to that particular App. But you really want to upload a different App with the same name, you after deleting you App need to call Apple Customer support and request them to delete the "app data” which was maintained by them for the App which you just deleted. And after Apple deletes that “app data” you can create a new app with the same name.

7. In an enterprise account can I create developer account and publish App to the App Store ?
Ans: No

8. Can I use the same id to create both Developer and Enterprise account ?
Ans: No

9. In my old account I have some member added in people section with different roles, will that also gets transferred?
Ans: No, You need to add them again to the new developer account.

10. When I transfer will all the TestFlight data also gets transferred ?
Ans: No

11. After App transfer, will the already installed Application will work correctly ?
Ans: Yes

12. And if I push update for the App, from the new developer account will the already installed App get the update?
Ans: Yes, they will get the new update, for them there will be no difference.

13. App ratings and user reviews will also get transfer to the new developer account ?
Ans: Yes

14. App id for the App will also remain same after transferred to new account right ?
Ans: yes

15. What if the App has some payment related to it and the previous account had some bank details added for that?
Ans: If this is the case then we need to first add the bank details, and then initiate the transfer.

Have a nice day :)
