2. Hint

Guys do you have some edit-config tag in config.xml?

Since there is no update for a while, I close this thread.

That’s breaks the Android manifest.xml file.

Guys I made quick fix.

QUICK FIX

Find file that must to be edited platforms\android\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml

Now in the file just add into tag application these two tags: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="YourKey" />

this will cause error in logcat: Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "org.apache.http.ProtocolVersion" on path:

To fix this new error add into xml before map tag this tag: <uses-library android:name="org.apache.http.legacy" android:required="false" />

For me after build app work! But this is not solution, is only quick fix. That will allow you to develop app. Should be better to find a way how to fix the problem, not only how to hide it.

Please also confirm that this work.

Thx, issue is still open

@nitish75 I think update AndroidManifes.xml manualy in platform folder will not work, because cordova will overwrite it next build.

I changed the AndroidManifest.xml manually, and its NOT being overwritten. But obviously its not a solution to make it manually.

No update. I’m super busy

wf9a5m75 on Jul 25, 2019

Thanks, I will check it out tomorrow.

wf9a5m75 on Jul 18, 2019

but i did it in config.xml.

<preference name="GOOGLE_MAPS_ANDROID_API_KEY" value="AIzaSyB****************6Q-jiKe81n0" />
<preference name="GOOGLE_MAPS_IOS_API_KEY" value="AIzaSyB8IixvlN*****************v3n8zulvQ" />

And package.json as well

"cordova-plugin-googlemaps": {
  "API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID": "AIzaSyB****************6Q-jiKe81n0",
  "API_KEY_FOR_IOS": "AIzaSyB8IixvlN*****************v3n8zulvQ",
  "PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION": "15.0.1",
  "ANDROID_SUPPORT_V4_VERSION": "27.+",
  "LOCATION_WHEN_IN_USE_DESCRIPTION": "This app wants to get your location while this app runs only.",
  "LOCATION_ALWAYS_USAGE_DESCRIPTION": "This app wants to get your location always, even this app runs in background."
}
