Solve Xamarin Android deserialization issue consuming asmx web services in Net6

I'm upgrading an existing Xamarin Traditional (Android) application into .NET 6 but I'm running into deserialization problems. Our Android app integrates with a .NET Framework 4.8 ASMX Web Service on the backend. This has been working fine for years but doesn't work after we move to .NET 6.

I have opened an issue with Microsoft on their Xamarin Android GitHub with all the details here https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/issues/7230 but no replies from them.

This project consists of finding a good workaround allowing a Xamarin Android traditional app to consume ASMX Web Services using NET6
