I accidentally deleted by Public API Key for Browser applications under my Google Developer Console. I have an iOS and Android app that are using this key. I don't have the source codes for the apps and they are live on the market. Is there a way to restore or recover the deleted keys?

When you delete the key (I just created one to test it) it asks for confirmation with the following message :

The key will be deleted immediately and permanently. Once deleted, it can no longer be used to make API requests.

Pretty sure it is clear that NO, keys cannot be regenerated. I'm curious as to how you can, by mistake, click delete on a key and then confirm....

This message clearly indicates that there's no possible recovery
