It is not only about the Android app keystore or the Android Maps API Key. It
is a combination of both. We need the keystore when we want to sign a App.
The way you can sign a App is as follow; (I am giving instructions by
assuming that you are working with Eclipse IDE)
- Right click on your project in the Package Explorer window
- Android Tools -> Export signed application package
- In Project Checks window, brows your project and go to next window
- There, select "Create new keystore" and follow the wizard
- Don't give the default password which comes with the Eclipse debug key
