The issue is fixed with 3.42 in the current Ubuntu serie, I'm working on backporting the change to impish, later series will also need to be fixed
** Description changed: + * 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? - [0]: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1658 [1]: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/-/commit/d63a1ce3921a6a6c573a6a ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released ** Changed in: evolution-data-server (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop 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 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.
