I hava tried creating different API keys from google, both works on debug version but not in release, the map doesnt load. Also I have a key for the debug version and another key for the release version (I have tried with the same key but still not working.
Have you generated the release key for google map. follow this link to generate a release key for google map.
Before publishing application into play store you have to follow some step to create release key with your app signing keystore.
