Google Map not showing map for release apk

I have the problem that has been discussed here but without any solution helps me. The Google map is "gray" but just in release (when I build generate signed APK). I have tried to add API key to google_maps_api.xml under release folder but that didn't work. Also, I tried to add API right to the AndroidManifest.xml but with no result too. Thanks for the help.

When you generated your Google maps key, did you put SHA-1 of your debug, or of your release certificate? If you put debug SHA-1, add release also.

Also, proper way to do map implementation would be to have debug/res/values/google_maps_api.xml with key for debug and another release/res/values/google_maps_api.xml with key for production. There shouldn't be key in strings.xml. More about this you can read here.

Are you using ProGuard? If so then you'll need to add following to your ProGuard rules file:

-keep class com.google.android.gms.maps.** { *; }
-keep interface com.google.android.gms.maps.** { *; }
