Looks like we're all in the same boat - our sitemap is pending as well. I guess we wait until someone finds a solution?
So far so good - numbers of indexed pages are steadily coming up.I've deleted my sitemap.php from GSC for now because it is perpetually pending; I'll keep an eye on indexed pages and see if there is a positive change or not in the coming weeks.
So the temporary solution would be to manually submit each one of the sitemaps found in the php?
In the past couple of weeks, since removing the sitemap from GSC, I've seen a steady daily increase in the number of indexed pages, with today's being around seven thousand more than when I removed it.I've deleted my sitemap.php from GSC for now because it is perpetually pending; I'll keep an eye on indexed pages and see if there is a positive change or not in the coming weeks.
Nope. Just checked the headers of my sitemap and it has X-Robots-Tag => noindexMay that be the cause?

It doesn't correlate with my XF upgrade and sitemap problem timeline either: Skipped XF 1.5.14 (so didn't have the noindex tag); queued a card in Trello for upgrade on 26 Sep (sitemap issue started on 21 Sep); upgraded to 1.5.15a on 6 Oct (where the noindex will have been added).That's what I meant.
