Error API key not found when i am trying to add google map to Xamarin

I'm trying to add Google Maps in Xamarin Forms app but when I run it this error occurred:

Java.Lang.RuntimeException
Message=API key not found. Check that is in the element of AndroidManifest.xml

Java.Lang.RuntimeException: 'API key not found. Check that is in the element of AndroidManifest.xml'

Erorr message

Is there any way to know this API is active?

Your API keys can be found in your Google Cloud Platform Console

Here's the link : https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials

You can check for the status of your "Maps SDK for Android" by searching for it in the GCP console's API Library : https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library

Check this docs page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/platform/maps-and-location/maps/maps-api#-specify-the-required-permissions

Scroll down a bit to the large code block after "The following snippet is an example of the settings that must be added to AndroidManifest.XML:" and make sure to replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual api key.

Copied from link (in case it goes away):

The following snippet is an example of the settings that must be added to AndroidManifest.XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
          android:versionName="4.5" 
          package="com.xamarin.docs.android.mapsandlocationdemo2" 
          android:versionCode="6">
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="23" android:targetSdkVersion="28" />

    <!-- Google Maps for Android v2 requires OpenGL ES v2 -->
    <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true" />

    <!-- Necessary for apps that target Android 9.0 or higher -->
    <uses-library android:name="org.apache.http.legacy" android:required="false" />


    <!-- Permission to receive remote notifications from Google Play Services -->
    <!-- Notice here that we have the package name of our application as a prefix on the permissions. -->
    <uses-permission android:name="<PACKAGE NAME>.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
    <permission android:name="<PACKAGE NAME>.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />

    <!-- These are optional, but recommended. They will allow Maps to use the My Location provider. -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />


    <application android:label="@string/app_name">
        <!-- Put your Google Maps V2 API Key here. -->
        <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="YOUR_API_KEY" />
        <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
        <!-- Necessary for apps that target Android 9.0 or higher -->
        <uses-library android:name="org.apache.http.legacy" android:required="false" />
    </application>
</manifest>
