My app, that uses the google mapview, is ready to be released. My testing was done using the google maps key that I obtained back when I started the project. I am told that this key will not work for my release version and that I need another key for my release version.
All of the posts in this forum and every other place I can find discuss getting a version 1 key. For instance there is documentation on how to get a MD5 fingerprint (whatever that is) for the version 1 key.
How can I get the key I need for version 2?
Edit: To make this question a little clearer, I already have my 64bit app key, a keystore file, an alais and a password. It looks like I need a SHA-1 fingerprint that can somehow be obtained using the keytool program. I didn't need the keytool program to get what I have as I used the Eclipse Export Wizard. Thanks, Gary

The API is available for developers that have a free Google Maps API key. Usage of the API is not strictly free, but they do offer $200 of free monthly usage for most users. The pricing scales to fit your particular needs and you are only charged for your API usage.
The API secret key is used to identify your account. You will be asked to provide one to connect to some of our services like the Google Sheets Add-on and the API functionalities. You can find your API secret key in the API page on your dashboard. You can also create new API keys in the same section if necessary.
Google documents the entire process here.
Specifically, if you need help finding out how to use keytool, expand the section titled "Displaying the release certificate fingerprint."
