Bug#1053398: gnome-online-accounts: I cannot add a proxy Google account

Package: gnome-online-accounts
Version: 3.48.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I would like to report a bug which started happening after upgrading Debian 11
to Debian 12.

I have a work email ending in "@ucd.ie" which is really a Google account, even
though it does not end in "@gmail.com"

In Debian 11 I could add my work account normally by running Gnome Online
Accounts, and then choosing Google.

The program would then redirect me to the two-factor authentication system in
my university and the account would be set up for Evolution, etc.

However, after upgrading to Debian 12, when I add my @ucd.ie account through
Gnome Online Accounts (choosing Google), after pressing "Next" I get the error
message

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access this resource."

After the error message I am not able to complete the process of adding my
account.

I even updated gnome-online-accounts to version 3.48.0-2 (in the unstable
repository) to see whether the problem would go away, but unfortunately the
issue persists.

The problem does *not* happen if I use a "@gmail.com" account.

Kind regards

Fizolas
