Native or Desktop App
This toggle is used to validate API requests for native or desktop apps since app access tokens are considered insecure due to the app secret being embedded in the code creating an insecure app access token.
Is App Secret Embedded In the Client
If the Native or Desktop App toggle is set to Yes, then you will need to set this field. This restricts the app secret usage to methods allowed by a Client access token.

The API Version Settings allow you to upgrade or set the Graph API or Marketing API default version your app uses for un-versioned API calls.
