'Google Map API is not working on release mode
I am using Google Map in my android. It was working fine. Today I implemented Google Places API, after that when I build release APK, map is not working. I don't know that it is because of Google Places API or because of something else. I cross verified SHA1 key, keystore file. I am unable to find the issue. I am using these dependencies:
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:17.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:18.0.0'
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:17.0.0"
On opening map, it is showing blank map.
I am facing it only on release (signed) apk, not on debug apk. Screenshot is:

You should make sure that you set your release API key.
src/release/res/values/google_maps_api.xml
Since android generates two different xml files for google maps. One for debug and One for release. You probably have your API key placed on debug only.

did you add the google maps api key to the manifest?
