Answer 1

I faced the same problem and my issue was I used debug certificate not release certificate

if you use this for release certificate "not debug certificate":

Enter the following at a terminal or command prompt:

keytool -list -v -keystore your_keystore_name -alias your_alias_name

in your_keystore_name write the path for the file you used for signed api which its extension .jks

take the sha1 which you will get in the output and used it to get the key.
