I have the pre-requisites configured.

3. Enabled Hyper-V in windows features.

4. Run VS 2022 as Administrator.
5. Create .Net Maui Default App.
6. Run via Android Pixel 5 - API 31 (Android 12.0 - API 31) emulator.

Solution

Jason thanks for your inputs. Here is how I solved using a physical android device.

Steps:

1. Enable Developer Options in your Mobile device
2. Enable USB debugging in your Mobile device

3. Connect your device to your virtual machine. A popup titled Allow USB Debugging? appers in phone. Allow it.

4. Open MAUI project
5. From the Project run dropdown select Android Local Devices and select your device.

6. Now run the app.
7. It will be deployed in your device and open in your device.
8. A preview will appear in XAML Live Preview window inside visual studio.
