System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load assembly 'Microsoft.Maui, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken='

I have installed VS 2022 and tried to migrate my project from VS 2019. My VS 2019 project worked ok with the original MTAdmob, however, when building the new project I receive the following error message:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load assembly 'Microsoft.Maui, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken='.

If I remove the MauiMTAdmob nuget package and all code references from my VS 2022 project then the rest of my app builds and runs without an issue.

Steps to reproduce:

Install VS 2022 with the .NET Multi-platform App UI Developement and .NET Desktop development workloads
Using command line dotnet workload install maui and maui-android
Create a new VS 2022 project with the same project name as original
Go into old project and copy classes from VS 2019 into VS 2022 project
In new project, check that code works without additional MTAdmob package, clean and build app
In new project, install MauiMTAdmob NuGet package

Versions: Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) Version 17.3.3 dotnet version 6.0.400
