This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key. How to fix this problem for ios app?

Question

I am working on Augmented Reality in an ios app. I found a good tutorial and sample project for this site . While running this application on my device, I received an error in the NSLOG console,

Response: { "error_message" = "This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key."; "html_attributions" = ( ); results = ( ); status = "REQUEST_DENIED"; } 

I created a new project in the Google dev site and created the Sever Key as iOS Key is not supported for Google Api sites. I also tried using the browser key, this did not work.

My request url looks below

Tried several solutions suggested here at SO but no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The problem is generating browser keys. when generating a new browser key, we should not enter the website URLs on the websites tab, instead of directly clicking the generate button could give a new browser key.

Using this key resolved the issue.

Answer 2

Select a browser key only without a website name, then it will work for Android. I tried both the server key and the Android key, but it does not work for me.
