what to do about google tasks #403

Closed CampelloManuel closed 1 year ago

CampelloManuel commented 1 year ago

Google tasks sync does not work.

When trying to sync notes with google tasks, the code gives an AuthenticatorException with message UNREGISTERED_ON_API_CONSOLE after a google account is chosen.

The 5.7.1 version from f-droid shows no error message, but does not seem to work, either.

The app requires registration on an app console, but that requires a signing key, so I can't test it.

@spacecowboy do you need to do something on this "api console" ?

Also, are you interested in this functionality ? I don't use google tasks, so if you think it's useless we can just comment it out until someone else shows up to work on it.

We are not using any proprietary libraries for this, so inclusion on f-droid should not be a problem, anyway.

Maybe by now everyone who needed google tasks synchronization moved on to another app ?

I agree. Google has tried to kill Tasks for years. So I think it's entirely reasonable to kill the integration and rely only on OPEN sync methods for future functionality.

In #404 I provided a quick fix by disabling the settings for google tasks.

Anyone reading this can feel free to provide feedback. If anyone is interested in fixing gtasks sync I left instructions in the code, or you can just ask here.

That said, since I don't care about Gtasks either, I consider this closed, for now.
