Depoloying ABP Framework MAUI Application to Android 11 device throws error

I was trying to deploy my ABP Framework MAUI application to Android 11 (API Level 30) device via Visual Studio 2022, and came across with the following error:

I've searched for this error and stumbled on similar errors but there was different reasons at the core of the issues so different solutions were applied, none of which did not solve my problem.

Here's how I solved this issue:

• First I ensured that my MAUI AndroidManifest satisfies both the Minimum Android version and the Target Android version of the device I was trying to deploy.
• Then I checked if I had the required Android SDKs installed, with going to Tools > Android > Android SDK Manager. On the Platform tab, I noticed that even though I had Android SDK Platform 30 installed, I haven't got the Google APIs Intel x86_64 Atom System Image installed.

After the installation, I was able to deploy and debug my application on the Android 11 Zebra device.

Here's the final look of my Android SDKs and Tools window:
