Investigation summary
The documentation for private app distribution on Meta for Work and Meta for Education states that private apps do not require formal review. However, the developer dashboard still displays 'app submissions' options for private apps, and the app remains listed as 'draft' in release channels even after following the documented steps. The documentation is unclear on whether a submission is still required to distribute a private app despite the stated exemption from formal review, causing confusion and potential issues with app distribution.
