Prolonging the lifespan of a page access token

First of all, before this is marked as a duplicate. I have seen question similar to this one. But none of them seem up to date with the new facebook developer layout.

I have followed the instructions for this.

Which has proved very successful. Apart from the fact that ones page access token changes rapidly(??!).

So I then went on to learn about prolonging the lifespan of the page access token. Which I found nothing of use!

I have looked at this method where you insert your app-id, app-secret and the short lived token:

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token&grant_type=fb_exchange_token&client_id={app-id}&client_secret={app-secret}&fb_exchange_token={short-lived-token}

but it just returns:

{
   "error": {
      "message": "Error validating application. Invalid application ID.",
      "type": "OAuthException",
      "code": 101
   }
}

Does anybody have an up to date methods?

To get non-expiring Page Access Tokens, have a look at How to fetch data from my facebook page without token expired?

Apparently this only work if one uses a v1.0 to get the Access Tokens, with v2.0 the lifespan is 60 days.
