Google Maps is not loading on Android 8

[david-nedeljkovic]

The app utilizes Google Maps, which runs on all versions except Android 8. To load the map, we use SupportMapFragment from com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment().

open class SupportMapFragment : com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment() {
    fun getMapAsynchronous(callback: OnMapReadyCallback) {
        super.getMapAsync { googleMap: GoogleMap ->
            callback.onMapReady(MapClient(googleMap))
        }
    }
}

The map version we are using is
gmsImplementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:18.1.0'.

Can you help me? Thanks in advance.

Hi @david-nedeljkovic ,

What errors are you seeing on Logcat? Google Maps SDK runs on Android 8, so this could be eventually an issue with the API Key or the device you are using.
