Hi Alfred, I did create a app password in the Google account (I had to enable the 2-step veryfication before doing it), but Gnome, in its Online Contacts, does not accept my app password for the google account, instead only the real google account password. Any instructions please about how you configured Evolution (or Gnome) to use the app password?

Migrate to People API to retain programmatic access to Google Contacts. See https://developers.google.com/people/contacts-api-migration. I found the upstream bug report for this[0], which references the commit[1] that fixes it. However, that commit is in release 3.42.0, whereas Ubuntu 21.10 currently has 3.40.4-1. Is it possible to backport this commit so that Evolution will continue to work properly?
