`Encountering CircularReferenceException during project build in Android Studio, unsure if it’s related to Gradle or dependencies.

`Circular dependency between the following tasks:
:app:processDebugResources
— :app:processDebugResources (*)

**

• Exception is:**
  **org.gradle.api.CircularReferenceException: Circular dependency between the following tasks:
  :app:processDebugResources
  — :app:processDebugResources (*)
  **`

**This is my AndroidManifest.xml file :- **

This is my build.gradle.kts(:app) :-

    compileSdk = 34
