Description

Describe the bug
I am using microG as an alternative to Google Play Services on my device. However, I have encountered a problem with saving contacts in my Google account. I have installed an official addon that allows me to sync contacts, but I cannot save new contacts to my Google account. Whenever I try to do so, it does not recognize my existing account and prompts me to add a new one. Whilst I've already added an account.

System
Android Version: 13
Custom ROM: LineageOS 20

Additional context
Second reason for me to rollback to official GApps.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the contact-saving flow on Android 13 with LineageOS 20, microG, and the contacts-sync addon, checking why the existing Google account is not recognized. Done means an existing account is available when creating a contact and a new contact can be saved to that Google account.
