Description
Hi
Are there any plans to create Google contacts and calendar sync analogs/providers in microg ?
Or other ways to sync contacts and events directly with Google without third-party applications and services like webdav
Currently users are forced to use Google components (com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts and com.google.android.syncadapters.calendarfor) in order to have full synchronization capabilities.
This is inconvenient for several reasons:
Lack of much-needed functionality by default
You need to install proprietary components
Most often, you can’t just install these apks; you need additional actions and the selection of a suitable version of sync provider for your Android.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping how microG currently handles Android contacts and calendar synchronization, then determine the scope of Google-compatible sync providers. Done would mean an agreed implementation path for syncing contacts and events without proprietary Google components, with corresponding validation identified.
