Error setting up GoogleMaps API key when using with VueJS.

Hello everybody!

I’m getting an error when I try to set the the api key in the xml files as in the documentation. nativescript_googlemaps_api_key.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="nativescript_google_maps_api_key">Here I have my the API-KEY without quotes</string> </resources>

Then I add the piece of code in the AndroidManifest.xml file: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="@string/nativescript_google_maps_api_key" />

Probably I’m missing something… Hope you can help me!

Hi @saul-avikar,

I managed to solved the issue, it seems that my AndroidManifest.xml file was incomplete. I added several lines that I found and now it works.

This is the file now:

`
