This article from docs.Microsoft explains how a model-driven app is designed and it states the following under the User interface paragraph:

Apps determine the app fundamentals, like components, properties, the client type, and the URL.

Can you please explain to me what is a "client type", what is a "client type" here and where can I find this information inside the Power Apps/Power Platform universe? Can you give me a few examples of different types of "client types" used in different scenarios (inside/outside of Dataverse, using/not using Power Apps, etc.)?

Thanks!

RE: What is the "client type" in the context of Model-driven apps?

Hi Joel,

There are two client types, web client and Unified Interface client.

The web client has been deprecated on October 1, 2020. Now the model-driven apps in Dynamics 365 CE online are all of the Unified Interface client type.

More information: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/important-changes-coming#legacy-web-client-is-deprecated

Therefore, there is only one client type currently available, the Unified Interface client.
