I will post what solved this same error in my case for further readers:

As pointed out, when the map shows blank, we're facing an auth problem. What usually solves the problem is to delete the debug.keysore file, get a new one building the project again, unistall the application on device and create (or update) a new android key on the google apis console with the new fingerprint.

My mistake was that the first time I re-installed the app on the device it had the old api-key in the manifest file, and for some reasons even updating it with the new one didn't change it!

So my suggestion is to re-install the app only after having changed the api-key on the manifest.
