Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
The noindex tag is added to the sitemaps on purpose, and you shouldn’t be worried about that, as it’s completely fine and absolutely normal to have noindex tag on your sitemap. The sitemaps, by default, are set to noindex as you would not want those to appear on SERPs and they are only used as a crawling method.
Please be advised that, the sitemap should only be submitted in the sitemaps sections in the Search Console.
Hope that helps. Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
