Deploying App in SharePoint Online - Sideloading of apps is not enabled on this site.
Its the era of Office 365 and cloud now. On a fine day, you learned to develop app. The app is developed in Visual Studio and you are planning to deploy in your SharePoint Online site.
- You created the developer's site

Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint': Sideloading of apps is not enabled on this site.
Now What??? Then comes the PowerShell scripts for your rescue.....
Execute the following PowerShell scripts.
#CODE STARTS HERE
$programFiles = [environment]::getfolderpath("programfiles")

Write-Host 'Ready to enable Sideloading'
$siteurl = Read-Host 'SiteUrl'
$username = Read-Host "UserName"
$password = Read-Host -AsSecureString 'Password'
$outfilepath = $siteurl -replace ':', '_' -replace '/', '_'
try
