Use the Facebook Live API for my mobile application

Question

I want to use the new Facebook Live API to integrate it into my mobile video filter application. Therefore, I can transfer content created from my phone. But I read something in the documentation that they would not allow it.

Has anyone experienced anything related to this?

Please note that the Facebook API should not be used to simultaneously stream content to other online services and that the API is not intended for use with cameras for mobile phones. Third-party ads should not be included in streams.

Does this mean that there is no possible way for anyone to integrate the facebook live API on a mobile phone. Only on desktops?

@omarojo: Any updates on this thread? What was the final answer or status of your application idea? Any updates would be of great help if you can provide more details.

There is a “Live Broadcaster” app in the app store that does the same: https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/live-broadcaster/id1145978146?mt=8

Facebook does not allow a third-party mobile application to use their live api in its privacy policy: https://developers.facebook.com/policy/#liveAPI

I wonder how the "Live Broadcaster" application works with Facebook live and already lives in the App Store?

If anyone has a workaround, please provide detailed information here so that people can use this way accordingly to avoid problems with FB policies and invest a lot of money and effort.
