Google Maps API key for a WebView

Question

Hello, We have written an android app (with Xamarin Forms) with some Html and Javascript code (which is inside the app, not on an external url) that is displayed by a WebView I have a map: in order to create the Google Maps API Key do we need to create the key supplying both package name and Sha1? I don't know if doing so maps will work correctly or not since my Maps Api key is not handled directly by the C# code but by mi Javascript.

Answer 1

Hello,

No need to create the key supplying both package name and Sha1.

See the Google's document about Maps JavaScript API

If you use Xamarin.Forms Map Control - Xamarin | Microsoft Learn and you want to restricting API keys, when you create key, you need to supply package names and SHA1.
