Description Milan Crha 2022-04-05 05:50:29 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2071056 +++

Description of problem:
RHEL9 beta is shipped with evolution 3.40 which has unfortunately still the issue "Contacts API is being deprecated" 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.40

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a Google Online Account 
2. Start evolution
3. Switch to Contacts and click on Contacts of the Online Account

Actual results:
Error message:
Failed to connect address book “lbohnsac : 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.

Expected results:
Access to the address book

Additional info:
There is evolution 3.42 available which fixes the issue.

Thanks for a bug report. I guess I can backport relevant changes to the evolution-data-server [1] and evolution. The only downside is that there are two new translatable strings (which is the reason, why this change didn't reach the 3.40.x series upstream).
