Error : Sideloading of apps is not enabled on this site

Hi All,

I have started working on sharepoint app development recently. When I started developing app in visual studio and deployed, got the following errror:
"Sideloading of apps is not enabled on this site".

Reason: I am not using Developer Site Collection

Solution: Two ways we can fix this issue.
1. Create Developer Site Collection and deploy apps.
2. If you are using different site collection other than "Developer Site Template", active the feature as below:

Enable-SPFeature e374875e-06b6-11e0-b0fa-57f5dfd72085 –url "Site Collection URL"

Here we have to activate "Side Loading feature" for non-developer site collections.

What is "App Side Loading"?

App sideloading is the ability to install a SharePoint 2013 App directly into a site to explicitly bypass the regular governance controls of SharePoint. It is a developer/test feature not intended for production use. It is not recommended to sideload apps regularly, or keep app sideloading enabled for longer than you are actively using the feature!

The developer site is designed for app developers to install and test apps before they are ready to release/publish on store.

Hope this helps!!!
