Generating Google map Release API Key

Question

My app uses Google Maps, I signed up for a Google Maps key to debug, it worked. But now, I need a Google Maps key in release mode, before publishing. How can I get it?

Answer 1

Debug key will not work for the release build. Pls go through the info mentioned about generating key in this official page. Moreover, you can add the SHA1 for both your release and debug build, if you want to use a single key for both debugging and release purposes.
