I'm building an Android app based on google maps V2 api, using the api console. To do that I need to generate a key using my SHA-1 that's generated through the debug keystore locally. Only then I get the desired key which I put in my Android Manifest, but every now and then it doesn't work because my SHA-1 have changed so I need to replace the old one with the new.
Any chance to make it stay the same ?
If you are using the same keystore file, the SHA-1 fingerprint should not be changing. You may need to look into to whether you are creating/deleting debug keystore files or perhaps the expiration on it has been set to be only a few days.
To better avoid the issue, you should generate your own keystore file specifically for your application. You can use the newly generate keystore file to build the application and only that application. No other application should use that keystore file and the application you're working on should only use that keystore file.
