Prolonging the lifespan of a page access token

Question

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?

Thank you I now have the error - as seen in updated question — maxisme, Jun 19 '14 at 11:55
Do you know of any ways to keep this up to date? Or do I have to re enter it every 60 days? — maxisme, Jun 19 '14 at 11:57
With v2.0 you seemingly only can have 60 day tokens, with v1.0 there can be non-expiring ones — Tobi, Jun 19 '14 at 11:58

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.

Is there a said way to now update it, every 60 days? – maxisme Jun 19 '14 at 12:04
could I not just create a new one every time the page is called? – maxisme Jun 19 '14 at 12:06
If you want to have two extra calls with each page load, then yes – Tobi Jun 19 '14 at 12:12
how could I go about doing that? – maxisme Jun 19 '14 at 12:13
also I don't understand how to set it up? what is `use Facebook\FacebookSession;` – maxisme Jun 19 '14 at 12:19
is there a way to check whether the post is succesfull? – maxisme Jun 19 '14 at 12:23
There's enough sample code on the dev homepage where you can read about that. – Tobi Jun 19 '14 at 12:26
