Android Maps APIv2 -- distributing an adhoc build

Question

I need a bit of guidance here.

I've got a "rescue" project going on and have had to replace google maps api v1 for api v2. None of that has been a major problem (thanks to stackoverflow) but one thing I can't seem to get my head around is providing a release with working maps.

• My code is functioning via the Eclipse build to device. I'm happily testing away.
• I've got a signed debug key following the steps at google dev

When I send a release to the client (via HockeyApp) they can't see the maps. I get that it requires a release key and followed the steps here to set up the "public" API.

I did the following steps per the directions:

keytool -list -keystore mynamedkey
keytool -list -v -keystore mynamedkey -alias mynamedkey

I then copied and pasted to get my API key. Pasted it in the AndroidManifest. Sent a build out. Maps are still not visible.

Is there another setting I have to do?

edit: I'm signing the application with the same key I used to get the maps release API.

I did the whole process again and it works. I'm going to go with user error + confusing process. There's lots of articles here that list that process. This question can be deleted or locked.
