You can build and publish model-driven Dataverse apps by running deployment scripts that generate SiteMap XML, create AppModules, add components via AddAppComponents, apply security roles, then run ValidateApp and PublishXml.

Adding SiteMaps, views, and forms to a Dataverse AppModule uses the AddAppComponents Web API action to attach these components programmatically within a single solution for consistent deployment.

Yes, you can deploy a model-driven Power Platform app entirely through Web API scripts by orchestrating end-to-end steps: generating SiteMap XML, creating AppModules, adding components, applying security roles, validating, and publishing.

Automating Dataverse app deployment applies Basic User security roles automatically by executing the appropriate Web API actions during the deployment pipeline to ensure the AppModule is accessible to users.

You should validate a model-driven app before publishing in Dataverse by running the ValidateApp Web API action to ensure all added components, SiteMaps, and AppModules are correctly configured and solution containment is maintained.

A limitation of deploying Dataverse AppModules via Web API scripts is that all components, including SiteMaps, views, and forms, must be strictly contained within a single solution for the automated deployment to succeed.
