I'm really new to react-native and I've just finished an android app using Google Maps API. The map worked fine as I developed it and worked fine after I generated the release APK (I got a new restricted Google maps API key). I then ran the app on my physical device using --varient=release and, again the map worked perfectly well. I then published the app to the Play Store and after downloading the app from there the map is blank except for the Google logo in the corner. Any help on this would be appreciated, I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer that has worked. Not sure which code would be best to put here so I'll put the build.gradle and the AndroidManifest.xml for now unless anyone wants to see more. (API key blanked at the end)

/**
* The react.gradle file registers a task for each build variant (e.g. bundleDebugJsAndAssets
* and bundleReleaseJsAndAssets).
* These basically call `react-native bundle` with the correct arguments during the Android build
* cycle. By default, bundleDebugJsAndAssets is skipped, as in debug/dev mode we prefer to load the
* bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
* and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the
* `apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"` line.

* // that we don't look at files in android/ or ios/ to determine whether the tasks are up to
