Yes, you need a different one. See here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16978270/after-exporting-apk-the-google-maps-do-not-show-in-application-why-does-it-happ/16978361#16978361). You can get it from here (https://code.google.com/apis/console/) – Ken Wolf Jun 10 '13 at 15:46

You don't need a separate API key for your release signing key. The only thing you need to do, is adding SHA of release key on APIs Console, so you have two lines there instead of one:
D3:49:EF:3D:0E:...:D5:5F:59:46:11:C1:85;pl.mg6.android.maps.extensions.demo
C1:3A:96:3E:F8:...:4D:F1:52:77:D0:01:0E;pl.mg6.android.maps.extensions.demo

1I have replaced my debug.keystore SHA with the one created for release. So API key remains same. Will it create any issue? – NightFury Mar 14 '14 at 22:19

@MaciejGórski is correct. Below is small details to it.
In the Google Api console, where we have created the API KEY we have an option to add multiple finger prints to the same key. What I did was adding two SHA1 finger print for my debug keystore and release keystore and the same API key worked for me.
Note the below is for Ubuntu specifically:
Get SHA1 for the debug using the below command
keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass androidFor getting SHA1 for release the command changes to
keytool -list -v -keystore /home/atul/Desktop/Learnings/Projects/TestApp/keystore.jks -alias test -storepass password -keypass password
where
/home/atul/Desktop/Learnings/Projects/TestApp/keystore.jks is the path where my keystore file for the signed apk is present
test is the key alias name used while genrating the signed key store
and password is the password used while signing the apk
Hope this helps. Happy coding :)

make sure that you have release key in your "google_maps_api.xml" file in release folder,
Go to you app > app > src > release > res > values > google_maps_api.xml and put your generated key in "google_maps_key" string .
somthing like this: AIzaSyC3I-3mVulW2TNw_vmil_wGdNj11w5rrFg
its work for me :)
