Confused about Facebook review process

I am trying to develop an iOS app which can pull your Facebook videos. Very similar to this the Android app except the video download part. For this I need user_videos permission and for that my app should go through the app review process. Now they are asking for App Video and App runtime. I can give them but that has nothing but fb login screens with no videos. How should I proceed with this app?

EDIT: I created a dummy app and submitted the runtime for it. Video here

Now as I dont have the user_video permission, I can only show placeholder videos (as shown in video). I explained my situation to them, and their reply was:

"Developers can configure a test user that has granted tokens for the requested permission. Please submit your app after you have incorporated the requested permission."

A test user is not allowed to get tagged or upload a video. And graph API also gives error in case I try to do that. How a test user can solve my problem here?

Facebook people are sometimes anxious to know if your app is not using any content that will violate facebook content policy. Just make a simple video of your two screens and they will approve the app in a short period.

Update

Following are the steps on facebook developer dashboard which will show you how to upload the video for review of your app.

Status and review -> Click on add notes in App detail section -> Enter the steps to be reproduced by facebook review team -> upload a screencast (Refer https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/review/examples#screencast )
