I had the same problem using android studio. The official documentation says that you have to get your sha1 key from debug.keystore but that is not true at all. You have to use the sha1 key from your .jks file.

I´m not sure how to get this but I found it using eclipse. You choose any project and when you export a project you choose your key. In the end of the process you see your sha1, this is the real certificate and it's different than in debug.keystore.

See this SO answer for reference.
