title: Google Map isn't loading when downloading my app from Google play store
body: <p>When I download my app from google play the Google Map is no loaded. 
  When I download the app with the .apk file directly (transfer it to my phone and downloading) it did load! 
  I searched all over and it still doesn't work.
  This is what I did: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>In Android studio, Build->Generate Sign APK I created a new Keystore 'keystore' and a new Key 'app'</li>
  <li>run: keytool -list -v -keystore keystore.jks -alias app. </li>
  <li>In the output from step 2, under 'Certificate fingerprints:' I took the 'SHA1' value and my package name 'com.gilshelef.feedme' (from AndroidManifest.xml file) and generated a new API key in the Google api console. I restricted the key to 'android apps' and added my SHA1 and package name. </li>
  <li><p>I placed the generated key (step 3) in my Manifest file:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;meta-data
  android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" 
  android:value="@string/google_maps_key" /&gt;</code></p></li>
  <li><p>In android studio, Build->generate sign APK I used the same keystore that I created in step 1 and the same key. </p></li>
  <li><p>I uploaded the generated apk to Google play. </p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>After I downloaded my app from google play the map is still blank! </p>
  
  <p>NOTES: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I also tried to changed the extension of the keystore from .jks to .keystore since android studio uses the .jks extension.</li>
  <li>I verified that the key from google api console and the one Im using in my AndroidManifest.xml file is the same.</li>
  <li>I verified the package name in google api console and Manifest file.</li>
  <li>I followed this: <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/signup" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> tutorial 'Displaying the release certificate fingerprint'. The output looks the same except for the 'Signature algorithm name: SHA1withRSA'. the signature algorithm name in my release keystore is 'SHA256withRSA' maybe this is the problem?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong??</p>
