Conflict when using google maps sdk plugin

[yencolon]

Hi, recently i tried to use this plugin in one of my projects, but when i installed and try to build, a merge conflit error with the com.google.android.geo.API_KEY, I'm also using google maps sdk plugin.. any advise?

Manifest merger failed : Attribute meta-data#com.google.android.geo.API_KEY@value value=(@string/nativescript_google_maps_api_key) from AndroidManifest.xml:9:13-69
is also present at AndroidManifest.xml:9:13-30 value={api key}.
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:7:9-9:72 to override.

I tried to use the tools:replace, but i guess i'm using it in the wrong way

Hi,
This is because the api_key conflicted with google maps sdk plugin. My solution is remove one of the api key (google maps sdk plugin api key). Edit the plugin's Android Manifest (not application Manifest) at directory node_modules/nativescript-google-maps-sdk/platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml

remove <meta-data .... /> tag inside the <application></application>
and then rebuild the app.
