My app was compiled and working OK with Google Maps for markers and for routes API, when was built with the old SDK, without Firebase.
Other app push messages sample with Firebase is compiled and working OK, with the new SDK verision. So, Firebase looks working...

But now i cannot start and even debug the first Google Map app, made all according to the tutorial - "Unfortunately, App has stopped" just after run.

SDK updated, API level min14, target22, JSON from Firebase, its snippet, API key from the console snippet....
How to understand why crashed ?

Without seeing any log info hard to tell. Can you - at least - point the line/function when you debug it?

Checked the unfiltered log and found:

B4X:

  Force finishing activity peacemaker.myparty/.main

Removed Firebase Manifest snippet, added back "meta-data"
B4X: 
AddApplicationText(<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="AIzaS......"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>)
AddPermission(android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE)

And now starts OK, but... seems, it's not according to the tutorial for B4A 6+.

And now such error at "mFragment.Initialize("Map", MapPanel)":
B4X: 
** Service (starter) Create **
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **

But if to make a breakpoint on this init - no error next.

"Spoiler: B4A v6+" asks to use Firebase and short META_DATA snipped, but with it
B4X: 
java.lang.IllegalStateException: A required meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not exist.  You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:     <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

And works only with old long snippet:
B4X: 
AddApplicationText(<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="AIzaSy......"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>)

And new #AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gmslay-services-maps is used, for sure.

And yes, thanks - if by loading the layout with a MapFragment - it is OK (if to use the sub prefix = MapFragment name).
Now only by CustomView must be ? Before it was ok by runtime init.
