Could you create a new project and run it? Do you get same error?

Do you share reproduced steps with us?

When rebuild your project without running your project in emulator, do you get this error?

Please share your visual studio version.

Could you share linker settings?

Please open Tools tag->choose Options->select Xamarin->Android settings-> set Diagnostic for Xamarin Diagnostic output verbosity. Then share the detailed build log here.

Please try to use Command line dotnet build to build your project. Do you get the same error?

I am also facing the same issue.
I have some xamarin binding project. When I migrate those migrate binding projects to MAUI.

I solved it by using Emulator that support google play like **pixel 4(+store) **Emulator

when choose it be sure to check the checkbox of Google play store
