title: Android Google Place Picker working in Signed APK but not working in Live app
body: <p>I have an application in which i have used Google Place Picker. There is very strange issue i am facing. When i am creating signed APK with my app's keystore, Place Picker is working very well. That same APK I have uploaded over Google PlayStore. When I come to open that Place Picker it automatically closed down.  I already read a lots of comments online and also here in SO. But I can not determine why its working well in signed APK and the same APK which is over Google PlayStore is not working. </p>
  
  <p>When i checked logs of LIVE application of Google PlayStore it giving error like this :</p>
  
  <pre><code>Volley : [198] BasicNetwork.performRequest: Unexpected response code 403
  for https: //www.googleapis.com/placesandroid/v1/search?key=MY_KEY/ ? V / ConnectivityManager : isActiveNetworkMetered() returns: true
  / ? E / AsyncOperation : serviceID = 65, operation = SearchPlaces
  OperationException[Status {
   statusCode = PLACES_API_INVALID_APP, resolution = null
  }]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I already have checked into my Google Developer Console that my key is same or not. I also check my SHA which I have created from my KeyStore file. And all are good (Otherwise it will also not works in Signed APK if anything wrongs there).</p>
  
  <p>Here is how I calling Place Picker from my Activity </p>
  
  <pre><code>int PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST = 999;
  PlacePicker.IntentBuilder builder = new PlacePicker.IntentBuilder();
  startActivityForResult(builder.build(this), PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is my AndroidManifest.xml file where i have give my API key in meta data which is into application tag.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.example" &gt;
      // ALL PERMISSIONS ARE HERE
      &lt;application
          android:allowBackup="true"
          android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
          android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:theme="@style/AppTheme" &gt;
          &lt;activity
              android:name=".MainActivity"
              android:label="@string/app_name" &gt;
              &lt;intent-filter&gt;
                  &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt;
                  &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt;
              &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
          &lt;/activity&gt;
          &lt;meta-data            
              android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
              android:value="@string/MY_KEY" /&gt;
      &lt;/application&gt;
  &lt;/manifest&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There is file which i deleted "release/values/google_maps_api.xml" which is automatic generated. As i already mentioned my API key into string.xml, So I deleted this whole values package from release package.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this?</p>
