After some discussing with @Mardy. We discovered that what is causing
the bug is that, the messaging app now is a confined app, with that it
can not create accounts on behalf of address-book-app (contact account).
The solutions that we have are:
1 - Workaround online account daemon to accept this kind of action;
2 - Remove "import from google" button from messaging app;
3 - When the user click on "import from google" button from messaging app, it
launches the address-book-app with a special argument, and the app launches the
online account dialog.
I have implemented the solution number "3" on silo 46.
Any comments or suggestions?

can't import contacts from google from messaging-app when no contacts

Bug description:
Trying to send an sms, I click on the "person" icon to choose a
contact. I have none, and the options are "+ Create new", "Import
contacts from Google" and " Import contacts from SIM card". If I click
the google option it does nothing (shows loading and goes back to the
same screen showing the options) I guess it should take me to the "add
google account" config somehow instead?
