If I recall, you need to open the Seahorse application and search for "Address Book" entries. These need to be changed to the app-specific password you created in Google. But when Evolution interactively asks you for your Google account, you will still use the normal password that goes along with that account.

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?
