how can I find the owner of a facebook app ID?

If you have access to the app id and the app secret but no access to the app within Facebook it is possible to discover the creator_uid and from there the email address of the app owner using the graph api.

First get an app access token:

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id={APP_ID}&client_secret={APP_SECRET}&grant_type=client_credentials

With this you can get the creator_uid:

https://graph.facebook.com/{APP_ID}?access_token={APP_ACCESS_TOKEN}&fields=creator_uid

Using the app token you will then get the email address when looking up the creator_uid in the graph api:

https://graph.facebook.com/{creator_uid}?access_token={APP_ACCESS_TOKEN}
