Google Maps just showing on my device

I have developed an android app for my company, where I have introduced a map in a fragment.

The app works fine on my phone, but when providing this app to other fellow workers, in their phones the map is not showing, it appears the focus buttons and the Google logo, but that's it, no map.

layout

<fragment 
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_margin="10dp"
    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>

manifest

<uses-feature
    android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
    android:required="true"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<!-- The following two permissions are not required to use
    Google Maps Android API v2, but are recommended. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

...

<meta-data 
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" 
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="AIzaSyArrfA3PQ9kVcwucUGZCoc9yMUC9wc2g_4"/>

Fragment

/*Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment*/
mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

In Google Developer API Console

  1. Click on Create New Android key...
  2. In cmd.exe/Terminal: keytool -list -v -keystore mystore.keystore
  3. Password: android
  4. Now enter SHA1 key;package name for debug and press enter
  5. Enter SHA1 key;package name for release
  6. Click on Create

Now use this API key your project

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="@string/common_map_api_key"/>

it's a debug key problem. you must use a release key. With version 2 API's you can use the same key for release and debug. In your google api's console edit your allowed android apps and on each line put your debug/release key, and then your app name. You can use multiple lines, then it will work with both keys.
