Here is the answer why you donβt see a Google map.
I recently posted an APK on the Google Play store, and I ran into the same issue after checking out the Play Console. I found a solution to this problem.
They have no problem with your key, but a problem with your SHA-1. You signed your APK with your SHA-1, which is fine, and then download the APK, itβs also great.
But according to the new Play Console update, when you signed the APK with SHA-1 and downloaded the APK, it was signed only by you, but according to the new update, it also signed the Google Play for more security. Check out part of the Google Play section here:
With a subscription to the Google Play App: you sign your application using your boot key. Google then verifies and removes the signature of the download signature. In conclusion, Google re-signs the application using the original signature key of the application that you provided and delivers your application to the user.
You can link the documentation here.
Now the answer to your question: After successfully loading the APK, you can see that in the section with two SHA-1s of the 1st SHA-1, Google created its own and the second SHA-1 is yours .
So, just copy Google SHA-1 and paste it into the console, where you create the Google map API key.
