Research direction

Start from the PlacesAutocomplete.show call and compare the debug and release APK configuration, including the release SHA1 registered in the Google API console. Build and run the release APK on the same device, capture the onError output and relevant logs, and verify that both the autocomplete search and map render successfully in the release build.

Description

Hi Guys,

So i started using the auto complete widget and it's working well on debug,
i can search and select the location and it returns me the expected result,
but when i build the apk --release
and tried it on my phone,
the page just show me a blank screen,
both the search and maps are not showing
but when i run the debug version of apk on the same device
it works,
and if i comment the code for the autocomplete widget,
then the maps will also show just fine,
anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

i haven't uploaded the app to google console yet

(refer to screenshot below)

Expected Result on release:
