Description
Expected behavior
If a user has account set up to only "submit for review" and they use the app to create a new post, I would expect the submit button in the app to either say submit but actually only submit for review, or say submit for review and submit for review.
Actual behavior
The submit button does not function: it appears to work, no errors are explicitly given, but the blog does not get sent to the site at all
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- set up user on a self-hosted site who has had "publish_posts" function restricted by plugin. - check the "submit for review" button is showing in the UI
- link up app
- Try to "publish" a blog
Tested on [device], Android [version]
Android Nougat, Self-hosted wordpress.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Android app's publish flow with a self-hosted WordPress site where the user lacks the publish_posts capability but can submit for review. Trace what the submit button does when the account is restricted, then verify that the post is submitted for review and that the button presents an accurate action.
