How to fix Laravel Telescope 403 forbidden on staging

One thing to note: if you're having issues with Telescope on staging, (like a 403 forbidden on staging) don't worry! Simply go to your AppServiceProvider.php file and add the following code:

```

if ($this->app->environment(['local', 'staging'])) {

$this->app->register(\Laravel\Telescope\TelescopeServiceProvider::class);

$this->app->register(TelescopeServiceProvider::class);

}

```

This will ensure that Telescope is properly registered and running on your staging environment.
