1-. Use case.
I’m using the google_maps_flutter package, in a Flutter and Dart project. Version is google_maps_flutter: ^2.4.0
When I call to the GoogleMaps widget in Flutter:
the following SecurityException is thrown:
E/GoogleApiManager( 5028): Failed to get service from broker.
E/GoogleApiManager( 5028): java.lang.SecurityException: Unknown calling package name 'com.google.android.gms'.

2-. Implemented API key
I followed the guide described in the google_maps_flutter package (https://pub.dev/packages/google_maps_flutter), the guide for installing Google Maps SDK in Flutter (https://developers.google.com/maps/flutter-package/config?authuser=0#step_1_install_the_required_software), and the ‘Maps SDK for Android Quickstart’ documentation (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/start) ->
i) GMP API key generated The api key related to Maps API is the fourth one ->
… with the following api key ->
… and restrictions ->
ii) the android manifest.xml is ->

- Expected results
The map is correctly rendered in a device connected via usb, although the exception is thrown. If an apk is generated and installed on the device, the map is not rendered, and the exception is thrown.
- Do you try using other devices?
Yes. I verified this process in a SMA426B and and a MiT11
