SEO Issue with Dynamic Routes

I have created a website that has over 100 products. Each product has its own dynamic URL. The sitemap is dynamic, so it contains all the dynamic URLs. I have included a robots.txt too. The google Search Console shows that it has found all the URLS inside the sitemap but none of them are actually indexed. For now, I have to manually place a request to index those pages. Does anyone know what the problem could possibly be?

how long ago did you submit your sitemap?
can you see any logs from googlebot that aren't a result of your manual submissions?

im not sure how it works in nextjs but in html it's usually a meta tag
or a header
<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />or a header
X-Robots-Tag: noindexthere is also nofollow (in a link rel)
the noindex is on the page itself and basicly tells the google crawler when it is discovered to ignore it
the nofollow on a link tells googlebot to not click the link

Thank you for this info. It was helpful. I had a robots.txt, but accidently missed to place it as metadata inside my layout.

So the meta tag for robots now shows up with
content="follow, index".Do you have any idea, how long it would take google to reindex the pages? Or is there something more to be done from my side
you could try readding your sitemap
