External Link Account Application & App Review

Hi, I am developing a Reader App, and am about to submit it for review, and complete the External Link Account Application.

The application form asks a series of questions & my app ticks all the boxes and the final question is whether I have submitted the app for review. No answer means I don't get to submit.

The instructions for External Link Account says, I should first get approval and then add this entitlement and code it. However, I can't get it till I submit the app for review. Does this mean, I should first submit the app without the External Link Account feature? However, this will not allow the reviewer to fully test the app, as my app is a reader app and uses my website for account set-up which allows for digital content to be seen in the app.

Perhaps I should anticipate approval and build in the External Link Account entitelement in the version that I submit for review.
Can someone clarify?

Thank you for your post. The most appropriate place to address your inquiry are App Review itself. In my personal opinion, if the application is complete, you should submit it with a note in the section dedicated to the best methods for reviewing it. App Review will provide you with a clear and concise response regarding any necessary modifications. I recommend collaborating with them, as they are highly proficient in providing feedback and assisting developers.
