Hi,

I'm getting this error on Android using a restricted key.

1. Added Certificate Fingerprints for both debug & production
2. Api key in both prod & debug AndroidManifest.xml files
3. Api key is in gradle.properties file with RNGP_ANDROID_API_KEY key

also, using an unrestricted key works fine for the Android app, and using a restricted key for the iOS app also works fine.

what am I missing?

This is happening for us too, but only for a few devices and only in production mode. Did you find any solution for this?

[idanhaviv]

@subramanyaRB nothing yet

Same problem for me here in dev environment.
@idanhaviv did you put API KEY in AndroidManifest file? The README don't say nothing about it

I'm starting to get this as well, everything works pretty well when I built out the APK and test with my own Android phone but when publishing to store it stops working for others

Have you tried some solutions proposed here:

A bit late but still might be useful for somebody.

Same problem on dev environment. Using an unrestricted key works fine for the Android app. Any solution?

[kariukis]

The reason this error is occurring because of the restrictions you have added when you create add the sha1 fingerprint on google cloud console , remove the fingerprints from android or ios then save .(the ip of that mobile phone will not be restricted)

[thorfinnko]

Has anyone found any solution for this, this is happening on stage env on my device

This issue is till open, 3 years after, I am still encountering the same issue, followed all steps given in the expo documentation to app the SHA-1 fingerprint to my google console, and also configure the app.json accordingly, but issue still persists. If there is anyone who has figured out a way, please share. Had to create a new API key and reproduce the steps and still, error persists.
