[Bug] .AAR/.JAR Binding works on Compile but doesn't work on Runtime

See original GitHub issue

Description

Steps to Reproduce

Add .jar/.aar reference in project

<ItemGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('-android'))">
	<EmbeddedJar Include="..\Lib\Android\myjavalib.jar" />
</ItemGroup>

Build project. Now it can reference in src/Android/MainActivity.cs
Run project on device or emulator

Expected Behavior

Should be able to reference to class as in compile time

Actual Behavior

Couldn’t run an application

AndroidRuntime: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.company.demo/crc6466b141205c78a362.MainActivity}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.company.mylibrary.NativeLibrary" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/~~2DGjK-ivAqIgR-5CJwLUlQ==/com.company.demo-dgKJQbH-orf7bno40PgR9w==/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/~~2DGjK-ivAqIgR-5CJwLUlQ==/com.company.demo-dgKJQbH-orf7bno40PgR9w==/lib/arm64, /data/app/~~2DGjK-ivAqIgR-5CJwLUlQ==/com.compant.demo-dgKJQbH-orf7bno40PgR9w==/base.apk!/lib/arm64-v8a, /system/lib64, /system_ext/lib64]]

This fix should be in .NET 6 Preview 6. It’s not really part of MAUI, but the Android workload it depends on.
