Hi 8th Wall Support Team,  
I´m working with your template “A-frame: GenAI powered by open AI”.  
Everything working is fine as long as I am in preview mode. When I publish the project and try to access it via iphone and qr code, I get an error “Missing API Key”. I have entered the API key and it has not restrictions. As said - it works fine in preview mode. I hope you can help with that.  
Cheers  
Tim
