Hello, I received an application with an error, namely, the map does not start on the home screen, I tried it on 3 different phones, the problem is the same. In the preview everything works, but after that there is no output. How to fix this problem?

Hello @e36910cl and welcome to our community!  
You can live-test your app without adding your unique Google Maps API keys.

If you want to download or publish your app you should use your own Keys in the project settings.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/7/17d58837e829ba8c0a61f237ed44ff9f9ce0adae.jpeg)

You can see more about entering the correct API keys here in our docs: [Map - Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/map#properties)

Let me know if it worked for you.
