Hi @shivpratap-3010 ,
You need to upload certificate file if you are using Azure AD App-Only. So I will recommend you to register SharePoint App-Only. You can refer to the following document to grant access.

browsing of the root domain folder may be disabled - it is not a problem (i.e. actual API endpoint which will be used for remote event receiver may still work regardless of this error). Try to go through all steps in the guide to the end and see will it work.

Also if you are new with that I would recommend test things first with simpler scenario with AF with anonymous access and see how it works: Use Azure function as remote event receiver for Sharepoint Online list and debug it locally with ngrok.

Please guide, how to check anonymous access. As currently, I am getting following

Getting error while running side loading script in the PowerShell for the site, using below article. Normally, I access the site by using username, password and Microsoft Authenticator app to approve the access to the site on browser.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/archive/blogs/officeapps/enable-app-sideloading-in-your-non-developer-site-collection

We have tried a lot, but shell script is not able to enable side loading and every time, we are getting "Sideloading of apps is not enabled on this site."

Note: - Running this shell script because we are getting error while performing F5 in visual studio. Kindly refer screenshot.

Kindly help us to fix.

Hi @shivpratap-3010 ,
Enabling app sideloading requires tenant admin permissions (in a multi-tenant environment) or farm admin permissions (in a single tenant environment). When you begin development in Visual Studio against any of the site URLs above without these permissions, the error "Sideloading of apps is not enabled on this site" will appear and the app installation will fail.

I have fixed the problem. I found that default multifactor was turn-on by the Azure and it can be turn-off by the portal for turning on Sideloading feature. I searched in the same direction and completed it through Azure Portal. @sadomovalex rightly said that there is no impact of line "You do not have permission to view this directory or page". For your reference screenshot and link

aad.portal.azure.com

After that I easily executed sideloading power shell script and reverted the multifactor later on.
Sideloading script is available at enable-app-sideloading-in-your-non-developer-site-collection
