Hi Alfred, I did create a app password in the Google account (I had to
enable the 2-step veryfication before doing it), but Gnome, in its
Online Contacts, does not accept my app password for the google account,
instead only the real google account password. Any instructions please
about how you configured Evolution (or Gnome) to use the app password?

Bug description:
  * Impact
  The google contacts integration with the GNOME component will stop working 
since it relies on an API which is going to be shutdown

  * Testcase
  - use evolution
  - add a google account
  - go the contacts section

  The contacts stored on the google account should be listed, no error
  should be displayed

  * Regression potential
  The patch changes the google contact backend so any potential issue is likely 
to be with contacts integration.

  --------------------------------

  I opened Evolution today and a red banner appeared on top with the
  following message:

  > Failed to connect address book “<em...@gmail.com> : Contacts”

  > Invalid request URI or header, or unsupported nonstandard parameter:
  Contacts API is being deprecated. Migrate to People API to retain
  programmatic access to Google Contacts. See
  https://developers.google.com/people/contacts-api-migration.

  I found the upstream bug report for this[0], which references the commit[1] 
that fixes it.
  However, that commit is in release 3.42.0, whereas Ubuntu 21.10 currently has 
3.40.4-1. Is it possible to backport this commit so that Evolution will 
continue to work properly?
