We will not enable this in the Google key shipped with the google.provider
file, because that key should only be used for validating the account creation.
GNOME Evolution ships the google-contacts.service file which you seem to be
using, so that could be a candidate for adding the permission. I've already
enabled the CardDav access on the Google API console, so it's just a matter of
modifying the google-contacts.service file and adding the additional scope
there.

Title:
Enable carddav OAuth2 scope ( https://www.googleapis.com/auth/carddav
) in Ubuntu Online Account (Vivid)
Status in evolution-data-server package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
It seems Ubuntu does not enable CardDav scope
(https://www.googleapis.com/auth/carddav) in online account. Ubuntu
only enables Google Contacts API (Gdata)
https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/ which is NOT same as CardDav. As a
result when some application( ex. Syncevolution) tries to access it
(through oauth2), it gives “authentication failed error”.
For example, running following command:
'''
SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG=1 syncevolution --print-databases –daemon=no\
loglevel=2 backend=carddav username=uoa:3,google-contacts\
syncURL=https://www.googleapis.com/.well-known/carddav
'''
gives following error:
“PROPFIND: Neon error code 1: 403 Forbidden, must not retry”
NOTE: It is required that that the scope for accessing CardDAV needs to be
specified in the sources too. Having it only in the APIs Console is not enough.
Otherwise Google rejects access to the CardDAV resources with a 401 "AuthSub
challenge".
