Hi joe puhich,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q & A forum.  

To fix the "duplicate file" error in your .NET MAUI project for Android, first check the Resources folder and .csproj file for any duplicate entries, especially for images or fonts. Clear the solution cache by selecting Build > Clean Solution in Visual Studio, then try rebuilding the project. Additionally, delete the bin and obj folders in your project directory to remove any stale files that might be causing the error.
