Answer 1

I had the same issue, the only issue was i was using a key for which directions api was not enabled. I solved it by changing api key with followings enables/added.

1. Billing enabled
2. Maps SDk for android (to show map)
3. Directions API (get polyline/routes data)
4. Places API (if you are using places search or similar)
5. Release Signing SHA-1 fingerprint (if key is restricted)

Path for file (app\\src\\release\\res\\values\\google_maps_api.xml).
