 * I get the following error message when i log in on my main WP dash:
    “There has
   been an error with the API. Please make sure your API settings are correct and
   try again: ONLY_PREVIEW_ALLOWED”
 * Basically apple news is all set up, but do i have to upload the first one manually
   for approval?

 * Please check off the box for Preview? before publishing. This will then allow
   you to publish and submit your channel for approval.

 * I am also having this problem (since our channel is not yet approved) but we 
   definitely ARE checking the “preview” box on publish. But upon publishing the
   post, all content is removed from the Apple News area (including the publish 
   box) and this error displays at the top. It seems like the settings are wiped
   when I publish, which is why it’s not getting that I checked the preview box.
   Do you have any suggestions here? I cannot get my channel approved without a 
   draft, and I cannot create a draft with this plugin…

 * Got it. Thank you! For now I will be sure to UNcheck the “automatically publish
   to apple” in settings. Thank you so much for the quick response.
