I have two questions
1.) I want to know why do we need different-2 map api keys for different-2 machine.
Can’t we use same key for any machine.
2.) When I need different-2 map api keys for different-2 machines so how & why Maps works fine on mobile devices when I install an apk file for my app which is created from any machine.
Hope you got my problem
Thanks in advance
Different machines have different debug certificates that are used to sign the build when running/debugging – they’re stored in c:\users\your_user.android\debug.keystore
A Map api key that is linked to such a debug certificate won’t work if you use a different certificate. You can share your certificate so you use the same one, or generate another map api key based on your debug.keystore.
When you release to the market place, you generate a new .keystore that you sign your release builds with – that has to be registered for its own map api key as well.
