Reclaiming a lost Facebook app

I am a new member of a team at my company reviving a legacy product that had Facebook integration, and we wish to continue developing the Facebook side of things, but we can't seem to find the credentials for logging into the app, or even who has access to it.

The app we are trying to recover is "HaloMobile". One thing to note though is the app name on posts is no longer a link. Does this mean the app has been disabled somehow?

I'm obviously not asking for credentials. At this point I'm just trying to "find" the app and possibly determine who is currently assigned as the administrator role, or what my options are. If there is an email address associated with the app, perhaps we can send a transfer request to that email?

If you could get retrieve two piece of information from your code-base, which are App ID and App Secret then you can retrieve the list of roles assigned in app using the following end point,

https://graph.facebook.com/<App_ID>/roles?access_token=<App_ID>|<App_Secret>

And once you know the role, along with the user Ids of the user assigned to it, you can move forward to recover the App by contacting him.
Also, you might want to give this documentation about Application a look, which lists out various fields you can retrieve for getting the required information to get access to your application back, like user_support_email

https://graph.facebook.com/<App_ID>?
        fields=name,description,creator_uid,user_support_email
        &access_token=<App_ID>|<App_Secret>
