This issue was related to an AndroidX.Core NuGet package. Removing that package resolved the issue.
Visual Studio v17.8.5, Android Xamarin.Forms application.
Xamarin.Essentials = v1.8.1
Target Framework = Android 13.0
manually set targetSdkVersion = 34 in the Android manifest file
The following error is reported while building in "Debug" mode:

There is no compile error when building in "Release" mode.
A 2nd "Debug" mode build shows no errors.
Attempting to deploy a "Deubg" build always results in the error.
While attempting to deploy and debug the following error is generated:
