Facebook Graph API: manage my fanpage without app review?

I'd like to develop a simple web app to automatically post status updates on behalf of a Page I'm admin of. If I understand the docs correctly, I need to:

  1. login to facebook with app id & app secret and ask for manage_pages permission
  2. retrieve Page Access Token from /me/accounts
  3. use that Page Access Token to work with my Page

the thing is, I need to have my application reviewed by Facebook in order to be able to request manage_pages (extended) permission. However to undergo the review successfully my app needs to be functional.

How am I supposed to develop properly working app when I can't even test it against Graph API as I don't have the page access token?

Is there really no way to generate long-lasting Page Access Token manually and provide it to my web app?

You don´t need to go through the review process if it´s only an App for you. manage_pages works without review for every User with a role in the App (Admin, Developer, Tester).
