This is a hassle, but what we did is add some logging messages and submit the build for Apple review marked for manual release. When the app is approved, issue a promo code for the unreleased version. Redeem the promo and that will install the unreleased version of the app. Go to safari and hit your web page with the meta tags to display Smart App Banners. Should launch your app and pass the URL. Then look at the console for your log messages.
