I exported an android package file and created a new keystore through eclipse. The app uses google maps. App works fine in debug mode but after running the apk the app no longer displays the map, only blank tiles. I had a google maps api key but it's not working for the release version. I'm assuming that I need a non-debug maps api key for the release.

How can I access the private key I generated to obtain a maps api key? From what I've read the private key is needed to get a google maps api key. I can see the generated file for the key at the file location it was saved but cannot open it.

Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance!

Use the same keystore you sign your production .apk to register for the Maps API key, since in development, you are using the Debug keystore for your Maps API key.
