Can't Deploy to Android Emulator after changing settings

Hello! I'm working on a MAUI app using Visual Studio on windows and while modifying some of the Android SDK versions, now I'm getting the dreaded: "The project cannot be launched for Android" message.

I just want to verify with folks here that my SDK settings l look correct for the latest version of Android with .net9:

I've verified the project file hasn't changed -- but my guess now is something is asmiss here.

Any help is appreciated as it seems things are a little... sensitive to changes.

Thanks in advance!!
