Question about generating API Keys for Android in React Native.
I'm referencing these:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/signup#release-cert
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/signed-apk-android.html
https://github.com/lelandrichardson/react-native-maps/blob/master/docs/installation.md
What I'm wondering is, is how do I setup a debug API key for android if I'm NOT running on an emulator? I know I can use this command
keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
if I want to create a debug.keystore that the emulator can look at, but how does this work for when I want to compile, build an apk, and run on my device? Do I have to set a pointer to it in gradle.properties? Does React Native know to look in that folder for the debug.keystore, and incorporate it into the apk? I'm not really sure how these things work.
cd android/app/
run:
keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
