Cognito User Pool
* Provide additional details e.g. code snippets *
amplify add auth (or amplify update auth) deploys a user pool that by default has 2 app clients, one denoted as "_app_client" and the other as "_app_clientWeb". What is the difference between these, are both necessary, and if so why?

@danludwig app_client is used if you want to re-use the amplify generated backend for a native mobile app. For javascript projects just the app_clientWeb is required.
