I suggest this may be due to SHA 1 fingerprint mismatch. Double check that you are using the same keystore to receive SHA1 and apk releases.
or Check if your API key is valid or not. To do this, add the following MAP_API as the release key
AIzaSyDztCvpv3PVBxzWwY7mWqCMnGfDeOiGxwY
Add the following to your AndroidManifest.xml (optional / optional)
<permission android:name="your_pakage_name.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
Build your version of apk. And test it.
If a map is displayed, we can fix that your API key is a problem.
Get Sha1 again and upgrade your Google Developer Console.
