MAUI and Kestrel webserver on Android ARM and iOS

I am a software developer and I am using MAUI and ASP.NET (.NET 6) together in one cross platform application. I found out ASP.NET Kestrel webserver (ASP.NET 6) is not available in MAUI on Android ARM and iOS platforms.
When I compile, I get this error message:

"There was no runtime pack for Microsoft.AspNetCore.App available for the specified RuntimeIdentifier 'android-arm64'".

With old .NET core 2.1 and Xamarin I was able to run ASP.NET Kestrel inside a Xamarin app on Android ARM and iOS.

Is it planned in the near future, to support Kestrel on Android ARM and iOS (again)?

    The ASP.Net team has an active feature request to extend platform support to Android, iOS, etc.:
    Support for MAUI runtimes in ASP.NET Core? https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/35077

    You may want to add your use case to that thread.
