Playstore shows "Leaked GCP API Keys" error

[kosuel]

Google play store complains error when I upload package. Following initialising code has a problem.

    if (!Places.isInitialized()) {
        Places.initialize(getApplicationContext(), BuildConfig.MAPS_API_KEY);
    }

Hi @kosuel.

I am not sure if you have resolved this by now, but your API key should be inside a properties file, and not within the code itself. Can you check out if this was the case?

I am closing the issue, but feel free to open it if you are still experiencing this.
