Sorry for late reply..... Well It work that way....manually adding https://www.googleapis.com/auth/carddav to /usr/share/accounts/services /google-contacts.service....
But it requires evolution to get oauth2 token. So I have to grant access for evolution from UOA as well. A single sign-on for google from UOA is not enough. -- 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/1433943 Title: Enable carddav OAuth2 scope ( https://www.googleapis.com/auth/carddav ) in Ubuntu Online Account (Vivid) Status in evolution-data-server package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: It seems Ubuntu does not enable CardDav scope (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/carddav) in online account. Ubuntu only enables Google Contacts API (Gdata) https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/ which is NOT same as CardDav. As a result when some application( ex. Syncevolution) tries to access it (through oauth2), it gives “authentication failed error”. For example, running following command: ''' SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG=1 syncevolution --print-databases –daemon=no\ loglevel=2 backend=carddav username=uoa:3,google-contacts\ syncURL=https://www.googleapis.com/.well-known/carddav ''' gives following error: “PROPFIND: Neon error code 1: 403 Forbidden, must not retry” NOTE: It is required that that the scope for accessing CardDAV needs to be specified in the sources too. Having it only in the APIs Console is not enough. Otherwise Google rejects access to the CardDAV resources with a 401 "AuthSub challenge".
