I cannot get to the Project Properties Editor for MAUI project. How to fix this?

Question

• Visual Studio: Version 17.6.0 Preview 3.0 (was the same issue with Version 17.6.0 Preview 2.0)
• Framework: 8.0.0-preview.1.23110.8
• Operating System: Windows 11 Enterprise Insider Preview Edition; Version 22H2; OS Build 25336.1000

When I right-click on the project node to see Properties, I get the following error message shown as a screenshot. It offers to open a log file of the error, and the log is shown below. What causes this and how to fix it?

This is a bug being tracked at https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Csproj-Editor-does-not-open-due-to-Andro/10333050 (as well as a few other duplicates).

You can follow the progress in that item. You can vote for it if you're also running into it, and you can add more information if you have details that aren't in the existing issue. Both of these are good ideas to help prioritize in general, though this one appears clear enough that additional information probably isn't necessary.

To my knowledge, this affects only .Net 8 which is in preview and not yet a finished product. It is not yet supported on Q&A.
