I created a release key using a video tutorial from youtube and unfortunately, the release key I created before deployment had no . extension. And when check on the google cloud platform to restrict the key to my app they require a .keystore extension. but then the android tutorial for creating a release key has a .jks extension. Does the extension really matter as my app refused to show the google maps and the facebook login also fail to work? Below you can my android manifest and module app
I have however already sent a mail to the google play store to request a change of my release key (using the android tutorial with a .jks extension) still have not gotten a reply yet.
Here are some links I have looked at for help

<!--
The API key for Google Maps-based APIs is defined as a string resource.
(See the file "res/values/google_maps_api.xml").
Note that the API key is linked to the encryption key used to sign the APK.
You need a different API key for each encryption key, including the release key that is used to
sign the APK for publishing.
You can define the keys for the debug and release targets in src/debug/ and src/release/.

For the google maps, it shows a completely blank screen with no markers or maps showing.
And the facebook login shows the message "Login error: There is an error logging you into this application. Please try again later" I was also able to get the Hash key despite the error message and added it directly to the facebook developer website and it still wouldn't work.
