The OP is using an ancient version of Evolution (3.12.x) which does not have native OAuth2, hence contacts doesn't work. The advice for that version of Evolution (and up to 3.16.x I believe) was to provision accounts using GOA. This is exactly why we always keep going on at people to tell us the version of Evolution they are using - things change between versions, sometimes there are significant changes, sometimes not, but unless you take note of the version being used it's very easy to lead people astray. Actually, TBH, neither was there any advice in later versions to not use GOA because of whatever calendar problems. It is recommended that you use native Evolution methods wherever possible as Evolution has more control over them - but it is actually the Evolution implementation of Google calendar accounts that was having problems, not the GOA one.
