I'm using Google Map in my app. I've tried to use MapView as well as SupportMapFragment inside a Fragment that contains the Map. The issue that comes up causes Google Maps to crash after 'Build APK' process (in all devices that I've tested) during map initialization, but when running from Android Studio (with Run) it works as expected. This is the stack trace (all I get in all executions is AssertionError):

As stated in here, I'm declaring the API keys in build gradle: Google Maps Signed APK Android
Code sample of how I initialize the map:
public class MainMapFragment extends BaseFragment implements{...
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Log.d(Consts.TAGS.FRAG_MAIN_MAP,"BEGIN onCreate()");
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
FragmentManager fm = getChildFragmentManager();
_mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) fm.findFragmentByTag(Consts.TAGS.UTIL_MAP);
if (_mapFragment == null) {
Log.d(Consts.TAGS.FRAG_MAIN_MAP,"mapFragment is null. creating new map...");
_mapFragment = SupportMapFragment.newInstance();
fm.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.map_container, _mapFragment).commit();
_mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
Log.d(Consts.TAGS.FRAG_MAIN_MAP,"BEGIN onMapReady()");
_map = googleMap;
//_map.setInfoWindowAdapter(this);
_map.setInfoWindowAdapter(new CDInfoWindowAdapter(getActivity(),_markersPos));
_map.setOnInfoWindowClickListener(this);
_map.setPadding(120, 120, 170, 200);
MapsInitializer.initialize(getActivity());
initilizeMap();
}
}
and this is the Fragment layout:
<RelativeLayout tools:context=".MainMapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/map_container"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!--<fragment-->
<!--android:id="@+id/map"-->
<!--android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"-->
<!--android:layout_width="match_parent"-->
<!--android:layout_height="match_parent"-->
<!--/>-->
<!--<com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView-->
<!--xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"-->
<!--android:layout_width="match_parent"-->
<!--android:layout_height="match_parent"-->
<!--android:id="@+id/map_view"-->
<!--/>
-->
</RelativeLayout>
What can be the issue if the code works in Run mode but not in 'Build APK' mode?
What's I've done in order to correct it (because the app is not ready for production and Google APIs & SDKs try to use a key that is not relevant to the apk build type) is configuring gradle build to work as I expected it to work:
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
debug {
minifyEnabled false
**debuggable true**
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
resValue "string", "google_maps_api_key", "***************"
}
}
