Plugin gradle in android studio don't work

Question

I want use gradle plugin in android studio. I added classpath in build.gralde:

 classpath "com.google.android.libraries.mapsplatform.secrets-gradle-plugin:secrets-gradle-plugin:2.0.0"

and

 id 'com.google.android.libraries.mapsplatform.secrets-gradle-plugin'

I put my map api key in local.properties (MAPS_API_KEY = "mykey") and use it on my manifest:

 <meta-data           
      android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
        android:value="${MAPS_API_KEY}" />

My app run succefully But it's don't work for me.

Answer 1

Did you add your actual API key to your local.properties file? You need to make sure you have a reference to your actual API key so that the substitution for ${MAPS_API_KEY} is done. You can do so by adding:

MAPS_API_KEY = your key value here

to that file.
