Facebook Graph API privacy setting CUSTOM with allow return error - (#100) Only friends may be specified in allow and deny lists

Question

I am trying to do the following in Facebook Graph Explorer using my app's token.

POST /v2.6/me/live_videos?description=hello%20world&privacy={'value':'CUSTOM','allow':'<friend id>'}&title=welcome

But I am getting the following error, am I doing anything wrong? Should the friend id be app-scoped user id instead?

{ "error": { "message": "(#100) Only friends may be specified in allow and deny lists", "type": "OAuthException", "code": 100, "fbtrace_id": "BOcQttKPs5W" } }

no, to post a live video on my facebook page using my app (test) — tom, Jun 09 '16 at 04:56
what is supposed to be there then? basically I wanted to post it to my page but only allow few friends to see it — tom, Jun 09 '16 at 05:27
_“Should the friend id be app-scoped user id instead?”_ – try it and find out …? — CBroe, Jun 09 '16 at 10:49

The problem here is that you need to know so-called "app scoped user id" of the friend you want to add.
