Google account for Calendar KO

jcmarvillet · 6 Apr 2021, 16:13

Hello.
Since few days I had an Sync error message in Calendar with my Google account.
All new events created in Google Calendar or in Agenda was not synchronized !
I tried to delete my account in System Settings, and to recreate it just after but, ... I can't add my Google account anymore !
Google screen says :
"Impossible de vous connecter.
Ce navigateur ou cette application ne sont peut être pas sécurisés.
Essayez d'utiliser un autre navigateur..."
Is it a regression linked to OTA-16 version ?
Is it only on my device ?
Is it only on Fairphone 2 ?

@lakotaubp Thanks a lot !
it works.
and thanks to @stanwood at the origin of the workaround.

I don't understand why I didn't have difficulties to add my account in July 2018...
why I could see my Google Calendar events on my Ubports Calendar till... few days ... may be till OTA-16 version install !

Is it possible for you ?

@jcmarvillet Indeed, Google has changed their security settings access last year.
The plugin bypass the rules... for now....

@jcmarvillet
My advice, don't rely on a company to maintain something for us (Ubuntu Touch users).
What I would do:

manually export my calendar from google
import it into a nexcloud account
then sync nextcloud with UT

Nextcloud will remain and if you're using service by some company and not your own instance then don't forget to backup your data

Nextcloud will be maintained as Google may decide to block any third party... They are already pushing in this direction.
