Android: does not show the Map || How to create API key for map

Usually, Map does not show if your API key is not correct or Map module version is not compatible. So the following steps can help to generate the API key

Go to the following link and "Detailed guide for users of the standard Google Maps Android API" section

• https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/signup#create_an_api_project_in_the_console_name

You have to create your API key with the exact package name (<id> tag value) and SHA-1 certificate fingerprint. 

You can generate your SHA-1 certificate fingerprint using this command for the development App

• keytool -list -v -keystore ~/Library/Application\ Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/7.0.2.GA/android/dev_keystore

No need password, just press enter.

For production App:

You have to use production keystore file for generating SHA-1 certificate fingerprint

- keytool -list -v -keystore <here drag and drop your keystore file then press enter>

Now, use that API key in your tiapp.xml file. You can follow this doc link to do that
