Hello lovely folks!

So far, I am able to sync all my events to and from Google Calendar. However, it remains that i am unable to sync tasks or todo items such as

* TODO Fix the washing machine

Please advise

Thank you!

If Google Tasks supports CalDav, then in principle this could be made to work.

But if Google Tasks only has a non-CalDav API, then we can't support it; maybe org-gcal could do it instead.

According to https://developers.google.com/calendar/caldav/v2/guide, gcal's caldav API doesn't support tasks (VTODO).

However this link claims that google tasks can be made to work with caldav: https://gun.io/news/2017/01/post-to-google-tasks-using-siri-on-iphone/

And Tasks.org also supports Google Tasks: https://tasks.org/docs/google_tasks_intro.html Tasks.org is primarily based on CalDav, but it's not clear whether they use Google's CalDav API or the separate Tasks API for this. But they are open source, so it'd be worth checking their code to see what they do.
