I’ve had this, and completed the App Review and been approved without fuss before.

I think I added the oEmbed mainly for Instagram one-boxing, but in some respects I don’t think it was worthwhile as the images seem to have a very short lifespan and break after a week or so (until the HTML is rebuilt.. for another week or so at least).

I can’t make sense of the UI for submitting the app for review.

> On June 8, 2021, we announced [**v11.0**](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog/version11.0) of the Graph API and Marketing APIs. With this update, there are new requirements to be able to access [**oEmbed APIs**](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/oembed/). Your app … currently accesses the oEmbed APIs and might be affected by these changes.

To continue accessing the oEmbed APIs, you will have to [submit your app for review](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/oembed/) by **September 20, 2021**. If you want to request new access to the oEmbed APIs, you will also need to submit your app(s) for review.

To learn more, please review [the updated requirements.](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/oembed/) **If your app hasn’t been reviewed for the oEmbed API feature by September 29, 2021, your app will lose access to this feature.** To avoid disruption to your app’s oEmbed access, please submit for App Review as soon as possible.

A user on my site says Instagram oneboxing no longer works. This was reported 16 hours ago, before the big Facebook / Instagram outage.
