Moving a domain between accounts

[abdusco]

Hey, I wanted to move a domain added to a test site from my developer account to my friend’s account. So, I’ve deleted it from my account, then when I tried to add it on the other account, I get the error “custom_domain is owned by the other account”. How can I solve this issue?
