In my attempt to run the Google maps API v2, I followed Googles "Getting Started" page and filled in all the code the had (literally, copied it in after much frustration) yet when I run the created app on my Nexus 5 Android version 4.4.4 it simply crashed with the following stack trace:

I have no clue where I am going. Help would be fantastic. (Keys have been changed)
Main Activity:

import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}

As the logcat states, there is something wrong with your permissions:
Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: The Maps API requires the additional following permissions to be set in the AndroidManifest.xml to ensure a correct behavior:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
According to the tutorial:
Specify the permissions your application needs, by adding
<uses-permission>elements as children of the<manifest>element.
All your <uses-permission> tags are children of <application>, not <manifest> as specified by the tutorial. They should be added like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.cradle.mapspack" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
