Oauth App Review - Testing Clarification

Hello, 

 

I recently submitted my public OAuth app for review, and have included a testing URL and detailed instructions for the team to test with, but I had a fundamental question about testing - if the app is not approved, that means the OAuth flow will only work for my own account (i.e. the same account that submitted the app). For the OAuth flow to work for any other Figma login, the app has to be published in public mode. If that is the case, how will the review team be able to test the app before it is approved? What am I missing here?

Hey ​@team-mercor, thank you for reaching out! I’ve reached out to the team internally to get clarification on how OAuth app testing works prior to approval, and I’ll follow up with you as soon as I hear back. Appreciate your patience in the meantime!

    Hi ​@Gayani_S, our app just got rejected for this same reason, i.e. “No option to use the testing credentials. Only available after account approval and cannot test."

     

    Can you or a member of the team please clarify how we are supposed to set up our Oauth for testing without the Oauth app being approved?

    Hey ​@team-mercor , Celine from Figma here, stepping in for ​@Gayani_S . 

    I checked internally, and our Content Moderation team has already informed the reviewer about the update you shared regarding the OAuth setup/testing flow. If the reviewer identifies any issue or needs any additional information, they’ll follow up with you directly.
    If you have any further questions in the meantime, feel free to reply directly to your ticket (it will automatically reopen, and the team will be happy to assist further there.)
    Thank you again for your patience throughout the review process!
