If you have just run "php artisan vendor:publish" like I did. Then most likely your artisan has been updated but not your larafel/framework. Run "composer update" and then rerun "php artisan key:generate" you will see the difference in your .env file, copy the key and put it in config/app.php in this format:
'key' => env('APP_KEY', 'base64:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=')
Now your app should back and running properly.
You can copy the .env.example to .env in your laravel root folder
I had the same issue, you have to change the .env by doing this cp .env.example .env php artisan key:generate
ref: laravel install getting key generate error in ubunto OS
Run cp .env.example .env then php artisan key:generate Copy the displayed key something like, "base64:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx="
Then go to yourAppName\config\app.php then paste the copied key in it(around line 107) then Save.
Run php artisan serve
