We are encountering a major issue with MAUI 8 apps. When the APK is handed over to the publisher, the signing process disrupts the alignment. During installation (signature verification) and running the app, we encounter an offset error with the assemblies/assemblies.blob file in the APK.

Since it's impractical to influence the publisher's release process and realign the APK each time, we need a solution that allows the app to run normally without re-aligning and re-signing the APK.
