Appsettings build error

[dom93dd]

Description

Whenever I am building a dotnet maui app a recurring error appears:

appsettings.json : error : The path '../../../../../../../../../Users/user/Documents/repos/repo/modules/mobile-app/appsettings.json' would result in a file outside of the app bundle and cannot be used.

The appsettings are loaded in the MauiProgram.cs:

using var stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("mobile_app.appsettings.json"); var config = new ConfigurationBuilder().AddJsonStream(stream).Build(); builder.Configuration.AddConfiguration(config);

This is how the appsettings.json is referenced in the csproj file:

    <ItemGroup>
      <EmbeddedResource Include="appsettings.json">
        <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
      </EmbeddedResource>
    </ItemGroup>

Steps to Reproduce
