MAUI library for Native Android binding failing with aar files that have Java Interfaces

I recently started working on MAUI Android binding library. I have created an aar file which has a simple Kotlin class and an Interface. This interface is implemented by the Kotlin class.

The simple Kotlin class

package
package com.app.mauitestlib

import android.util.Log

class MauiLibTest: MauiTestListener {


    fun start(initKey: String) {
        Log.d("MauiTest", "start called: ")
    }

    override fun onInit() {
        Log.d("MauiTest", "onInit")
    }

}
package

The simple Kotlin Interface

package com.app.mauitestlib

interface MauiTestListener {

    fun onInit()

}

Using Android Studio, I have generated mauitestlib-release.aar file. My requirement is to bind the aar file generated to MAUI library using net8.0-android target framework. I have the following setup for MAUI library

The wfx-maui-test.csproj looks like this.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

To build this library, I run the following commands,

dotnet clean wfx-maui-test.csproj
dotnet restore wfx-maui-test.csproj
dotnet build -c Release

This generates dll files without any error, but when i publish the library to nuget as library and use it in a MAUI Android project. It fails the following error.

obj/Debug/net8.0-android/android/src/mono/com/app/mauitestlib/MauiTestListenerImplementor.java(8,22): javac error JAVAC0000:  error: package com.app.mauitestlib does not exist

Upon debugging, I found that a cs file name Com.App.Mauitestlib.IMauiTestListener.cs is generated which has the below code.

[global::Android.Runtime.Register ("mono/com/app/mauitestlib/MauiTestListenerImplementor")]
internal sealed partial class IMauiTestListenerImplementor : global::Java.Lang.Object, IMauiTestListener {

}

This is internally registering java file name MauiTestListenerImplementor.java under the package mono/com/app/mauitestlib which is causing the issue.

How i make sure that the file is not registered under mono/com/app/mauitestlib package?

How can i make my maui library work with aar file that has Kotlin/Java interface?
