Just check your google_maps_key under the src/release directory, you should place there your own key from the google console (the one you got with the release fingerprint SHA1).

This happens because the default google_maps_key file you access is the one of the debug, so the release key will never notice this, you must place it on your release version of google_maps_key.

1- Create apk file using "Use the export Wizard" in "Android Manifest" file of your project.

2- After inserting key and before finishing, MD5 and SHA1 keys are shown as shown is this given pic-

3- Create new API Key for Android project for new SHA1 which is retrieved in point 2.

4- Use that API key in manifest file as shown below

5- Clean your project and build APK file again.

6- You can see google maps now in that apk.

You can't use a debug key for a release.apk, you need a release key for publish you apk!

Read this documment, https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start#the_google_maps_api_key and you will find you answers!

Good Luck!
