create it on src/app/sitemap.ts?

is your sitemap.xml a static xml file?

Don't the file need to be sitemap.xml?

I read, and asked helped from gpt's

They recommend putting it on public

app/public/sitemap.xml

I tried doing it on src/app/sitemap.tsx
But it's giving error as it's an xml file

@Ray is your sitemap.xml a static xml file?

Right now yes, but i'm planning to use the api to make it auto update everytime a blog is posted
