Upgrade to evolution 3.36.5-0ubuntu2 on Ubuntu 20.04.03 (focal) did not fix the bug for me either. I am wondering if anyone has gotten it to work on focal.
To fix the bug on Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic), I had to compile the source (master branch), largely following the instructions at https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Building, but I also had to build libcmark and turn off introspection, vala, and weather to get it to build. I couldn't use the flatpak build because the machine is a laptop and very limited on disk space. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to evolution-data-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1952107 Title: Google Contacts API Deprecated Status in evolution-data-server: Unknown Status in evolution package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in evolution-data-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in evolution source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in evolution-data-server source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in evolution source package in Impish: Fix Released Status in evolution-data-server source package in Impish: Fix Released 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?
