Answer 1

'Business' or advertising accounts can't manage apps - if at some point in the past you were able to create an app using a business account this was a bug or loophole and shouldn't have been possible - only real verified user accounts should be able to create and manage apps.

It's also possible to have a Business account which owns apps if you created a fake user account, created apps, and later converted your user account into a business account or had Facebook do it for you.

If you need to share ownership of the app between multiple people

You can do this by making all of the admins/developers working on the app developers or admins directly via the API or the 'Roles' tab of the App settings:

If you need to run ads for the app using a business account

You can specify which business accounts will manage the ads for an app in the app settings on the Advanced tab - add the email address used to manage the ads.

This is the only supported connection between apps and business accounts.
