Your Android App Bundle has more than 1 certificate chain. Ensure your App Bundle has only 1 certificate chain and try again

Instead of using AndroidSigning@2 task, Use

GooglePlayRelease@4

with the GooglePlayConnectionService and run the pipeline.

Refer the blog here for the details steps.

Install the Official Google play extension in your Azure DevOps account from here:-

After the extension is installed Create a Private key and add an Google Play Azure service connection in Azure DevOps with the same Private key and Google play developer account.

My Azure DevOps yaml pipeline:-

jobs:
- job:
  displayName: 'Build and Publish to Google Play Store'
  pool:
    vmImage: 'windows-latest'

  steps:
  - task: CmdLine@2
    inputs:
      script: 'dotnet workload install maui'

  - task: UseDotNet@2
    displayName: 'Install .NET SDK'
    inputs:
      packageType: sdk
      version: 8.0.x
      installationPath: $(Agent.ToolsDirectory)/dotnet

  - task: JavaToolInstaller@0
    displayName: 'Configure Java version'
    inputs:
      versionSpec: '11'
      jdkArchitectureOption: 'x64'
      jdkSourceOption: 'PreInstalled'

  - task: android-manifest-version@1
    displayName: 'Version Android build'
    inputs:
      sourcePath: 'path/to/AndroidManifest.xml'
      versionCodeOption: 'buildid'
      versionCode: '$(Build.BuildId)'
      versionName: '$(buildVersionPrefix).$(Build.BuildId)'
      versionCodeOffset: '10000'
      printFile: true

  - task: NuGetToolInstaller@1
    displayName: 'Install NuGet tool'

  - task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
    inputs:
      command: 'build'
      projects: '**/*.sln'
      arguments: '-c Release -f net8.0-android'

  - task: CopyFiles@2
    displayName: 'Copy AAB to artifacts directory'
    inputs:
      SourceFolder: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/YourMauiProject/bin/Release/net8.0-android/'
      Contents: '*.aab'
      TargetFolder: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'

  - task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1
    displayName: 'Publish Artifact: drop'
    inputs:
      PathtoPublish: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
      ArtifactName: 'drop'
      publishLocation: 'Container'

  - task: GooglePlayRelease@4
    displayName: 'Publish to Google Play Store'
    inputs:
      serviceConnection: 'GooglePlayConnectionService'
      applicationId: 'com.yourcompany.yourapp'
      action: 'SingleBundle'
      bundleFile: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/**/*.aab' # Adjust the path accordingly
      track: 'internal'

The Pipeline worked without GooglePlayRelease@4 task too.
