How can I get owner email for a Facebook App using the App Access Token

How would I get the email address associated with an active Facebook App ID, if all the usual methods (such as here, and here) don't return any email information with my creator-uid?

(I simply don't get the email field returned, even when I specifically request it as per here. I don't think this is a case of this as I didn't get an "App has no owner" error, or any error whatsoever.)

I've also tried this, but I'm in a catch-22 as I can't log in to select the application first.

I'm looking for the owner email address, so I can log in to make administrative updates following graph API updates.

Other specifics:

I get the following when I hit the Graph API via: https://graph.facebook.com/{my-app-id}?access_token={my-access-token} or https://graph.facebook.com/{my-app-id}?access_token={my-access-token}&fields=email

{ "name": "my-name", "id": "my-creator-uid" }

I've tried to recover my FB account using all emails I can think of, but FB says 'no account exists' for each that I try. (This is a data-analytics corporate account being used to gather data for 12+ months, so I can't simply create a new account/app ID and start using that instead, as app-scoped user IDs will change.)

I've also tried viewing https://www.facebook.com/app_scoped_user_id/{my-creator-uid}/ and https://www.facebook.com/{my-creator-uid}/ from another company FB account, but both get:

Sorry, this content isn't available right now The link you followed may have expired, or the page may only be visible to an audience you're not in.

What else would you suggest? What might have happened? I've tried to contact Facebook, but that search led me to this forum post, so I'm here. Thank you in advance for your help.

This is not a programming question, try to get in touch with the Facebook Team, if you are working with Facebook paid services (like Advertising) you might have an account representative that can accelerate the things a little bit (But this can be a really long wait).

A more realistic option is to create a new profile and an new app, also your application will be reviewed as well (Take a little less time than previous option).
