App cannot connect to Google servers for access to Google maps

I've been working on an android app for the past little while and I wanted to set it up to connect to Google Maps. I've been writing it inside Eclipse with the ADT plugins. I followed this tutorial but I've been getting the following Error when I try to load maps.
"failed to load map. error contacting google servers. this is probably an authentication issue (but could be do to network errors)"
Since I can access google maps in other apps it has to be an authentication error. I've tried uninstalling the app from my phone but that does not fix the error.
The SHA1 that eclipse is using (according to window > properties > android > build) is 58:EF:6F:DE:DE:B4:4E:EB:20:15:68:39:08:5D:87:32:FE:20:99:99
I used this to generate an API key in the google console which you can see contained below in my manifest file. The app I specified in the console was 58:EF:6F:DE:DE:B4:4E:EB:20:15:68:39:08:5D:87:32:FE:20:99:99;com.example.test. It may be worth noting that I'm loading the map inside an activity located in the gui package, not the com.example.test package that contains MainActivity.
I've been testing this on my nexus 5 by clicking play in eclipse while the phone is plugged into my computer.

Create an emulator from genymotion that supports google map api. You can look this up.
Find a download for the app store that will run on your emulator. I found mine here: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#Universal_Packages_2... I was using the 4.2.2 version.
Drag and drop that into your emulator. I am using google nexus.
Say ok to the prompts.
Once everything is installed close down the emulator and restart.
sign up with a good account.
Voilà

Android mobile device not showing in my eclipse browser

While I am trying to run Google Maps type apps I try to run using my android device. But device is not showing in my eclipse browser. What should I do ?
Is there any alternate way to run these type of applications ?
my menifest file as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.googlemaps"

Please Share what you have tried?
where you have to run this Application?
Please check Right click on the project->Run As->Run Configuration Now one window will show..That contains three tabs like Android,Target,Common.
1.You should select Launch default Activity in android tab
2.You should Select Automatically pick compatible Device
Ple try it
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="12"
android:targetSdkVersion="16" />
Ple Check this lines from Your manifest flie.. android:minSdkVersion="12" know..For Your Mobile Should not Greater than from 12.Please Check

This worked for me:
Create an apk file with same keystore key you have stored into Google Maps Console and install into your device. Installing into Android device using eclipse will not take your correct SHA1 key to view the Google Maps. As incorrect SHA1 key will lead to authentication failure.

I am testing my app on htc 1x.
here is logcat

It seems you have not added the play services to your project
You should reference the library project in your android map project.
http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html
Refer to this answer for more help on how to add play-service lib to your project

Are you using camera??, I get this error when use the camera and google map at the same FragmentActivity.
If i comment the camera code no gets errors, but when i activate this code, google the map is white and log says this:
03-03 13:42:39.721: E/SurfaceTexture(7327): [unnamed-7327-0] updateTexImage: error binding external texture image 0xafc9ec8a (slot 1): 0x502
Only on my HTC ONE X (nvidia tegra)

MapView not getting displayed

Application just displays a plain skin colored screen instead of a mapView.
I have tried followings :
I have followed all the steps from this docs.
I have enabled Google Maps Android API v2 in Google API console.
I have generated an API key for android. Also tried creating several times. Even on different machine.
I have added Google play services to my project.
I tried setting Custom debug keystore to Default debug keystore.
My AVD target is set to Google APIs level 17.
Manifest.xml file :
<permission

<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>
My activity and layout files are same as in this docs.
I use emulator. I am not sure if android mapView v2 is supported in emulator.
Any idea what is the problem?

Make sure your activity extends a FragmentActivity instead of Activity.
And replace you xml layout fragment with the following one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />
