App Store Review, login-enabled apps? [closed]

Quick question for anyone who is well informed on how the Apple iOS App review process works:

If I have an app that requires a login to use from a site that is not released yet, how does Apple test the application for crashes and such? Is this against the guidelines?

The thing is even when the site launches, which will be a day after the date I request the app to release by, only members of a certain community will be able to use it...

TLDR: How does Apple test iOS apps if it is login secured and they cannot obtain a login?

Why can't I write a review on the App Store?

You can only review apps and games you've downloaded. You can't leave a review from an enterprise account, like an account for work or school. If any account on your device is part of a beta program for an app, you can't leave a review for that app. You can leave a beta program if you want to write a review.

My understanding is that any sites etc that an app is dependant upon must be active at the time of submission in order for apple to correctly review the application - certainly on the apps I've submitted that refer to some kind of website I've always had to have something present and functioning at the appropriate web address.

If apple can't review the app they will fail it - without knowing your app it's difficult to be more specific - but without the login do you believe they can review it? If not you will likely fail.

Can the provider of the website provide a dumbed down version that functions just enough to allow the app to function correctly for app submission before releasing the full site the day after approval? Perhaps the provider can also set up a temporary redirection to another test only site which they can remove the day after launch?
