My MapFragment suddenly crash my googlemap app. This happen after updating SDK to 4.4. All my Googlemap MapFragment based app crash when I run on all my android devices (note 2/3/nexus7). All the setting for google Mapv2 retain..such as library, API key..manifest permission nothing changes. Suddenly after updating to kitkat SDK all my googlemap v2 apps went haywire.
