Hello Christopher and others, In iOS 7 there is no more need for a separate CardDAV account to sync Google contacts. Just as with Exchange or an Outlook.com (Exchange Active Sync) account, all you now have to do is set up your account as a Google account and turn on Mail and Contacts. Not sure how Apple does this behind the scenes, but then again it doesn't really matter. Here is the information followed by the actual link to the Apple website it was taken from:
Learn how to set up syncing with Google Contacts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Follow these steps if you're using iOS 7 to sync your contacts with Google Contacts: 1. Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Google. 2. Enter the required information in the fields. 3. Make sure Contacts is on. After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically. If you're using iOS 5 or iOS 6, follow these steps to set up contact syncing with Google Contacts: 1. Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > Other > Add CardDAV Account. 2. Enter the following information in the fields: Server: google.com User Name: your full Google email address Password: your Google account password 3. Tap Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup. After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically. Note: Make sure that SSL is enabled (under Advanced settings) and the port is 443. You may also visit the Google website to learn more about syncing with Google contacts.

Now if you're going to use Gmail, you need a separate account to sync your contacts and use the CardDav protocol.

That is the answer to your question. However, now that Gmail is doing away with push you can't set up and those that have them now set up will not be what you use them in iOS 7. > > Joseph Hudson > Email > [email protected] Sent from my iPhone > >> On Sep 24, 2013, at 8:49 PM, "Victor Gouveia" <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Not only that, but one must use common sense.
