Hi @sadath-12,

It sounds like you're running into a validation issue with the generated CRD manifest. The error related to x-kubernetes-type indicates that there's a problematic field in the CRD. Please check the markers doc to see if you are not missing something and for a better understand : https://book.kubebuilder.io/reference/markers

Here are few things that you can check

Search for the Error:
While the generated file might be lengthy, you can use tools like grep to pinpoint the exact location of the issue. Run the following:

```bash
grep -n "x-kubernetes-type" config/bases/your-crd-file.yaml
```

This will give you the line numbers where this specific attribute is set, which might help you narrow down the problem.

Kubebuilder Version:
Ensure you are using the latest version of Kubebuilder. Sometimes, issues are related to outdated versions and might be fixed in newer releases.

Validation Schema:
If you've defined custom validation in your API types (using markers like +kubebuilder:validation), ensure they are correct. Invalid or contradictory validation markers can cause issues in the generated CRD.

Manually Fix:
If you can pinpoint the problematic field, you might be able to manually remove or adjust the x-kubernetes-type field from the generated CRD as a temporary workaround. However, remember that this manual change will be overwritten the next time you generate the CRD.

I am closing this one.
however, feel free to re-open if you need.
