Internal JSON-RPC error with MetaMask on Polygon Blockchain. `ERC721: transfer caller is not owner nor approved.`

Question

I am making an NFT marketplace. When I deployed my contract on the Mumbai-testnet. The createToken function might work cause it brings up the Metamask for the Gas Fee but after that, the Error occurs something regarding the ONWNERSHIP. (Error image and text is present below.)

STEPS which I follow

1. npm hardhat node
2. npm run dev
3. Selecting the Creating Page.
4. Enter all the details.
5. Click on Create an Asset which calls the createToken function.

then the error occurs.

Here is my NFT contract

contract NFT is ERC721URIStorage {
using Counters for Counters.Counter;
Counters.Counter private _tokenIds;
address contractAddress;

constructor(address marketplaceAddress) ERC721("Metaverse Tokens", "METT") {
    contractAddress = marketplaceAddress;
}

function createToken(string memory tokenURI) public returns (uint256) {
    _tokenIds.increment();
    uint256 newItemId = _tokenIds.current();

    _mint(msg.sender, newItemId);
    _setTokenURI(newItemId, tokenURI);
    setApprovalForAll(contractAddress, true);

    return newItemId;
}}

Here is my NFTMarket contract

contract NFTMarket is ReentrancyGuard {
using Counters for Counters.Counter;

Counters.Counter private _itemIds;
Counters.Counter private _itemSold;

address payable owner;
uint256 listingPrice = 0.025 ether; // Here ether is denoting the MATIC

constructor() {
    owner = payable(msg.sender);
}

struct MarketItem {
    uint256 itemId;
    address nftContract;
    uint256 tokenId;
    address payable seller;
    address payable owner;
    uint256 price;
    bool sold;
}

mapping(uint256 => MarketItem) private idToMarketItem;

event MarketItemCreated(
    uint256 indexed itemId,

I tried changing the RPC in the MetaMask and the configuration files and redeployed it many times with different accounts, but still, nothing changes.

The Error

 MetaMask - RPC Error: Internal JSON-RPC error. 
data:
code: 3
message: "execution reverted: ERC721: transfer caller is not owner nor approved"

Thank You for your efforts. I got the solution to it(After Searching for 3 days).

SOLUTION=>

There's currently a bug on Mumbai causing deployed addresses to be incorrect. This is causing the constructor of the NFT contract to approve the wrong address for NFT purchases (because it uses the address of the Market deployment for approval) — causing the annoying "execution reverted: ERC721: approve caller is not owner nor approved for all" error.

Try using Mainnet (yes, you'll have to use real money) but it works!

Reference

Here's a workaround deploy script that will make it work on Mumbai. Replace main() in deploy.js with:

const hre = require("hardhat");

async function main() {
  const [deployer] = await hre.ethers.getSigners();

  console.log(
    "Deploying contracts with the account:",
    deployer.address
  );

  let txHash, txReceipt
  const NFTMarket = await hre.ethers.getContractFactory("NFTMarket");
  const nftMarket = await NFTMarket.deploy();
  await nftMarket.deployed();

  txHash = nftMarket.deployTransaction.hash;
  txReceipt = await ethers.provider.waitForTransaction(txHash);
  let nftMarketAddress = txReceipt.contractAddress

  console.log("nftMarket deployed to:", nftMarketAddress);

  const NFT = await hre.ethers.getContractFactory("NFT");
  const nft = await NFT.deploy(nftMarketAddress);
  await nft.deployed();


  txHash = nft.deployTransaction.hash;
  // console.log(`NFT hash: ${txHash}\nWaiting for transaction to be mined...`);
  txReceipt = await ethers.provider.waitForTransaction(txHash);
  let nftAddress = txReceipt.contractAddress

  console.log("nft deployed to:", nftAddress);
}

main()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
    process.exit(1);
  });

Redeploy the Contracts with this Script, and change the config.js.
