title: Ionic 2 - Google map not working on android device
body: <p>I am using ionic to build an app that shows a google map.</p>
  
  <p>I got this to work on the browser correctly. and as a matter of fact it worked on my android device from last night till about 4 hours ago. been battling with why since. </p>
  
  <p>The only clue i have now is this; wheni check the network tab in the debug too while the app is running on my phone, the last request is always this </p>
  
  <pre><code>http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js/AuthenticationService.Authenticate?1sfile%3A%2F%2F%2Fandroid_asset%2Fwww%2Findex.html&amp;4sAIzaSyBI_QvVmgUwxUmXW8InZ5_Qf7Os8XieFxo&amp;callback=_xdc_._dwgej7&amp;token=81132
  </code></pre>

  <p>Or something similar. But on the browser(chrome) it runs that request and then runs several other requests after that. </p>

  <p>my guess is somthing is wrong with that request when its made via the device. the status is <code>200 Ok</code> it doesn't show 404 or anything. it just doesnt make any other requests and according to the browser network tabs there are about a dozen more requests it should make.</p>
  
  <p>i'd like to point out that the initiator of the request is the google maps api script i included in my index.html and my API key is included in both.</p>
  
  <p>Please Help! </p>
