[Resolved] The SEO Framework generates invalid URL for site map in robots.txt

Problem:
The client is using the directory for the default language, and the SEO Framework is incorrectly adding this default language directory to all sitemap links in robots.txt, resulting in invalid URLs.
Solution:
We recommend modifying the SEO Framework plugin code to correct the sitemap URLs:
1. Open the file located at

.../wp-content/plugins/autodescription/inc/classes/sitemap/registry.class.php

.
2. Locate line 173.
3. Replace the line with:

$path_info = static::get_sitemap_base_path_info();

with:

$path_info = static::get_sitemap_base_path_info();<br />// Workaround for compsupp-7598<br />if ( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == 'https://cdn.wpml.org/robots.txt' ) {<br />    $wpml_language_directory = apply_filters('wpml_get_setting', false, 'urls')['directory_for_default_language'];<br />    if ( $id != 'base' && $wpml_language_directory && $list['base']['robots'] )  {<br />        $path_info['path'] = '/';<br />    }<br />}

Please note this is a temporary workaround. We are awaiting a more comprehensive solution from the plugin author.
