Android SHA1 release keystore not working with Google Maps

Create new project in Android Studio with Google map Activity. After project automatically creates the SHA1 in the manifest. Use this SHA1 to get MAP api key. Test your app be sure it works. And after build you app on what project.


1) Usually, you have to Clean and Rebuild the Project so it can work.

2) Make sure your build variant is on Release (Android Studio is friendly on this)

3) Also if you are debugging on your devices fully uninstall first then continue.

4) As the documentation says, make sure you have set up your manifest correctly.

Hope it helps.


You have two google_maps_api.xml files

One in this folder:

app/src/debug/res/values

Other in this folder:

app/src/release/res/values

But only the debug one contains your API key probably.
