I all
I have this in manifest
B4X: 
AddApplicationText(
<meta-data
  android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
  android:value="AIzaSyCPX4Q........"/>)

But my link to google api can't get api key.
I have to set my api key like that to work
B4X: 
Sub Process_Globals
    Public API_KEY As String ="AIzaSyCPX4......."

But google don't like that because app that contain exposed Google Cloud Platform (GCP) API key(s)

What can I do to resolved this security issue?

if you call the api with okhttputils2 then you need to do that this way, correct.

Google don´t like it because you have NOT RESTRICTED your Key to only use in your app.

Go to the google console, edit the key, add restrictions to it. <- And this is what google suggested to do in the email you got.
