Two applications (packages) with the same Google Maps ID

Question

I have a Project that is using Google Maps v1. Now I made a kind of clone of that Application with a different package name. Both apps are signed with the same keystore file.

Problem: maps are shown on the first App and are not seen on the second. The error I receive from Google is:

System.err  java.io.IOException: Server returned: at android_maps_conflict_avoidance.com.google.googlenav.map.BaseTileRequest.readResponseData(BaseTileRequest.java:115)

So is it possible at all to have multiple apps using the same Google Maps v1 API ID as long as they are using the same keystore file?

Cannot post the whole manifest here, what part of the Manifest exactly you want to see? — Dumitru Hristov, Jun 17 '13 at 11:34
Sam Rad, thank you, I've seen that post before. They say that the map will show when downloaded from Goole Play. Still doesn't sound ok in my case, since the Map is showing for the first App and it is not shown for the second. — Dumitru Hristov, Jun 17 '13 at 11:37

Problem solved: I signed both applications with the same key from the keystore.

I was not able to see Maps before because I was creating a new key for the new project.
