I get the same issue with both Android 2.3.3 on a 7" Samsung Galaxy tab and 
also on Android 3.2.0 on a 10.1" Acer Iconia A500.
Happy to help with testing :)

Version 1.0.8 and Android 2.3.4 here. I do have 2-step verification turned on, 
but if I could enter a password into APG ("application specific") it should 
verify.

I am using a Droid 2 with CyanogenMod 7.1, APG 1.0.8. I am using two-factor 
auth for Google Apps, which may be the issue, but I have an application 
password stored in the Android device, which allows the GMail app to work with 
no need for two-factor.

Same here, maybe to GMail's new "closed" API?

I did some research on the matter, it is possible that the issue may come from 
a lack of permission granted to APG, namely "requires 
com.google.android.gm.permission.READ_GMAIL".

Seems this issue was resolved in 1.0.6, but comes back ...

I have the same problem. Timescape (one of the default Sony Ericsson apps) used 
to have a plugin to incorporate Gmail emails into the main feed of events that 
it shows. That plugin stopped working after Gmail changed the access to it's 
data provider. I've read that there is no way to access the data provider 
anymore but someone above me in the comments suggested adding a certain 
READ_GMAIL permission. If it is that simple could we please have that fix in 
the next version? (I use GB by the way on a Neo V)

I doubt that there will be a next version. We've already waited a long time
since the last update.

Here you have a patched version of Gmail app that works with APG, it have the 
related permissions

Can't this be patched in APK? If it can then I am willing to try during the 
next weeks.

Original comment by inshame@gmail.com on 2 Jul 2012 at 8:35

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In the forum you have patched APKs of Gmail app, you only need to remove your 
current GMail app and install patched one (you need root to remove app if it's 
pre-installed as system app), this is the easy way to get working

Same issue, Samsung Galaxy SIII. Seems like a bad way to fix it to patch the 
Gmail app--really, this app should just get the correct permissions set.
Gmail 4.1.2

I don't see that happening anytime soon. The project seems to have been
abandoned. Maybe someone who knows what to do can just fork it and apply
the necessary changes.
