Unable to Access Node.js Application on Internet deployed under SAP BTP Kyma Environment

Question

I have deployed a Node.js application in the SAP BTP Kyma environment. I have enabled Istio sidecar injection in my namespace and created an API Rule to expose my service to the internet. However, I am unable to access my application.

Here are the steps i have followed:

1.Enabled Istio Sidecar Injection: "kubectl label namespaces istio-injection=enabled"

2.Created API Rule: here i have attached the apirule.yaml

3.Service Configuration: here is my service.yaml

4.Tried to verify the istio injection using the following command, "istioctl experimental check-inject -n "

5.I got the following response that "The injection webhook is deactivated, and will never match labels". response

Questions:

1.Is there anything I am missing or doing incorrectly in the setup? 2.How can I troubleshoot why the sidecar injection might not be working correctly? 3.Are there additional steps required to expose my application to the internet in the Kyma environment?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
