I have an asp.net web form project.
For creating a sitemap on this project, I didn't use a regular asp.net Web.sitemap
file in Visual Studio, like by doing:
menu File --> New File --> Web.sitemap from Visual Studio.
Instead I used the web site below for creating sitemap:
https://www.xml-sitemaps.com
Here is my created sitemap:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">
<!-- created with Free Online Sitemap Generator www.xml-sitemaps.com -->

And here you can validate my sitemap:
https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html
Here's my sitemap URL:
https://mysite.info/sitemap.xml
You can see everything is OK about my sitemap.
Now when I submit my sitemap to Google Search Console it reports:
couldn't fetch
Is this a Google bug?
What did I do wrong & how can I fix this error?
For multiple sites I got this error.
PS :
For another web site I have this issue too.
I waited 1 month - but the error is still there.
Edit
I cleared IIS logs & here is the log after introduce my sitemap to Google.

As you see google did n't make a request to my machine at all.
I am so confused about that.
