My app requires access to protect customer data and I'm getting ready to submit to the App Store.
I've completed the "Protected customer data access" form in the partner dashboard however I notice that the Protected customer data access request doesn't get submitted until the app is submitted for review.
That means, although I can install the app on a test store, it crashes and Gadget logs tell me "GGT_SHOPIFY_REQUEST_ERROR: This app is not approved to use the statusPageUrl field." which is directly linked to Customer Data request.
If I can't install my app on a development store, bypassing the custom data access requirement, how am I supposed to provide a demo URL for the "App testing" part of my submission please?
I could install the app on the test store as a custom app, but surely thats a different app and wouldn't pass the review
The shopify docs state: If your app is for testing or installed only on a development store, you can access customer data in development after Step 5. You don't need to submit for review.
