Eric,

Am I correct to assume that you're speaking about MobileOrg on an Android
phone?

I can't see how my iPhone's MobileOrg would allow me to sync with Google,
or am I completely missing out on such an important functionality?

yes, sorry, I should have been more clear.  Android version of
MobileOrg.  I know nothing about the iOS version.

Just followed the instructions on the github README page. I've not
looked this authentification problem in Google but from what I gathered
it's still working using the old endpoint for the time being. I'll
reconsider when it won't.

Interesting.  I cannot remember what happened but org-caldav stopped
working and so I went back to using MobileOrg.  I'll stick to what I
have for now but it's good to know that there still exist alternative
approaches, especially for the OP.

How do you have this working with Google?  It quit working for me due to
authentication changes at the Google end.  I cannot remember the details
unfortunately.

Interesting - Android or iOS? if iOS - I would like to know how you do
it.

I have build a merge of elisp code from 2 people (org-gcal and
google-calendar) and enhanced it a little bit.
I can sync both ways from Emacs.
The code is ugly, so I won't publish it. But if anybody wants to clean it
up and make it more solid, I'll send it.

I would like to see the code, perhaps we can make something usable.

I export the agenda using org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files. If 
you have access to a server, it is enough to point 
org-icalendar-combined-agenda-file to the right location in your 
server and then adding the ics file location in google calendar 
(Other calendars/Add by URL). You can automate this with a timer:


#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
 (org-icalendar-combined-agenda-file 
 "~/public_html/calendar.ics")
 (run-with-idle-timer (* 60 60) t 
 'org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files) 
#+END_SRC


If you do not have access to a server, you could use github 
(https://pages.github.com/) or bitbucket 
(https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/publishing-a-website-on-bitbucket-221449776.html) 
to create a website for your account. Then you can point 
org-icalendar-combined-agenda-file to the repo of your website and 
commit and push every time that you export the agenda to the ics 
file. In this case change org-icalendar-combined-agenda-file 
accordingly.


#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
 (org-icalendar-combined-agenda-file 
 "/path/to/personal/website/repo/calendar.ics")

#+END_SRC

If you do not like timers, you can also automate the process 
creating an sh file:


#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
 #!/bin/bash
 emacsclient -a '' -e "(org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files nil)"
 cd /path/to/personal/website/repo
 git add calendar.ics
 git commit -m "Update calendar"
 git push
#+END_EXAMPLE

And then using a cronjob.

Best,

I sync org with Google's calendar using MobileOrg on my phone as the
intermediary.  Generally works quite well.  I would be using MobileOrg
regardless so calendar synchronisation is a very nice bonus.
